Copying Zone Sets
On Nexus 5000 Series switches, you cannot edit an active zone set. However, you can copy an active
zone set to create a new zone set that you can edit.
To make a copy of a zone set using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Choose Zone > Copy Full Zone Database.
You see the Copy Full Zone Database dialog box as shown in Figure 16-26.

Step 3 Choose the source VSAN from the drop-down list.
Step 4 If you selected Copy Full, choose the source switch and the destination VSAN from those drop-down
lists.
Step 5 Choose the destination switch from the drop-down list.
Step 6 Click Copy to copy the database.
About Backing Up and Restoring Zones
You can back up the zone configuration to a workstation using TFTP. This zone backup file can then be
used to restore the zone configuration on a switch. Restoring the zone configuration overwrites any
existing zone configuration on a switch.
Backing Up and Restoring Zones
To back up or restore the full zone configuration using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
