Replacing a WWN in Multiple Aliases, FA Zones,

and Zones

This procedure enables you to replace a WWN throughout the Zone Admin buffer. This is helpful when

exchanging devices in your fabric and helps you to maintain your current configuration.

To replace a WWN in the Zone Admin buffer

1. Launch the Zone Admin module as described on page 9-3.

2. Click Edit > Replace WWN.

The Replace WWN dialog box displays.

3. Type the WWN to be replaced in the Replace field.

4. Type the new WWN in the By field and click OK.

The Replace WWN dialog box is displayed. It lists all the zoning elements that include the WWN.

5. Click an item in the list to select or unselect, and click Replace to replace the WWN in all the

selected zoning elements.

The former WWN is replaced in the Zone Admin buffer by the new WWN, including within any

alias or zone in which the old WWN was a member.

Searching for Zone Members

You can search zone member selection lists for specified strings of text. If you know some identifying

information about a possible member of a zoning entity, you can select the tab and view for that entity

and then search through its member selection list using the Search for Zone Member option. If the target

entity is an alias, zone, QuickLoop, or FA zone, then the search domain includes elements like switch

names and domain numbers, port names and “domain, port” addresses, device WWNs and

manufacturer names, and also any aliases that might already have been defined. If the target entity is a

configuration, then zones, FA zones, and QuickLoops are also included, along with the elements they

contain.

The search starts from the top of the list, and when the target element is found, it is also selected in the

Member Selection List so it can be added or its parent or children can be found. By default, the Member

Selection List is searched from beginning to end one time. If you select the wraparound option, the

search will continue to loop from the beginning to the end of the Member Selection List.

To search for a zone member

1. Launch the Zone Admin module as described on page 9-3.

2. Click Edit > Search Member.

3. Type the zone member name in the Member Name field.

Optional: Narrow the search by checking one or more of the checkboxes, such as Match Case.

4. Click Next to begin the zone member search.
