Merging two zone databases
1. Select Tasks > Zone Management > Compare/Merge.
Alternatively, if you are in the Zone Editor Tool, you can select Zoning Actions >
Compare/Merge Zone Database. If you want to merge the zone database that you are currently
editing in the Zone Editor Tool, you must save the zone database first, before doing the merge,
because the saved version is used in the merge.
The Compare/Merge Zone Database module launches (see Figure 149 on page 229).
2. Click 1. Choose Reference Zone Database.
The Zone Administration dialog box opens.
3. Select the zone database to use as the reference zone database and click OK. You cannot
update this zone database during the merge.
4. Click 2. Choose Editable Zone Database.
The Zone Administration dialog box opens.
5. Select the zone database that you want to compare to the reference zone database and click
OK. You can make minor changes to this zone database during the merge.
6. Click 3. Compare.
The Reference zone database and Editable zone database sections are populated with the two
zone databases you selected.
Blue triangles in the tree structure indicate nodes that are different between the two zone
databases. Expand the nodes to see their contents and the differences.
