Managing Zoning with WebTools
You can monitor and manage zoning through the Web Tools Zone Admin module. Click the Zone
Administration icon in the Fabric Toolbar to access the Zone Admin module, shown in Figure 9-1. The
Zone Admin icon is displayed in the Fabric Toolbar only if an Advanced Zoning license is installed on
the switch.
The information in the Zone Admin module is collected from the selected switch.
If secure mode is enabled, zoning can be administered only from the primary FCS switch. If the selected
switch has an Advanced Zoning license installed but is not the primary FCS switch, the Zone Admin
icon is displayed in the Fabric Toolbar but not activated. For specific information on secure fabrics, see
the Secure Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
You must be logged into the switch using a user name with one of the following roles associated with it
to make changes to the zoning: zoneAdmin, admin, or fabricAdmin. All other roles allow only a view or
read-only access. Most of the zoning operations are disabled in read-only mode.
A snapshot is taken of all the zoning configurations at the time you launch the Zone Admin module; this
information is not updated automatically by Web Tools. To update this information, see “Refreshing
Zone Admin Module Information” on page 9-6.
