You can zone a port/device by switch domain ID and port number, device port 
Fibre Channel address, or the device port WWN. Adding a port/device to a zone 
affects every zone set in which that zone is a member. To add ports/devices to a 
zone, do the following:

1.

Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning 
dialog.

2.

Choose one of the following methods to add the port/device:
„

Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. 
To select multiple ports/devices, press and hold the Control key while 
selecting.

„

Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. To select multiple 
ports/devices, press the Control key while selecting. Select a zone set 
in the left pane. Open the Edit menu and select Add Members.

„

Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. To select multiple 
ports/devices, press the Control key while selecting. Select a zone set 
in the left pane. Click the Insert button.

If the port/device you want to add is not in the Port/Device tree, you can add 
it by doing the following:
a.

Right click the selected zone.

b.

Open the Edit menu and select Create Members.

c.

Choose the WWN, Domain/Port, or First Port Address radio button.

d.

Enter the hexadecimal value for the port/device according to the radio 
button selection: 16 digits for a WWN member, 4 digits for a Domain/ 
Port member (DDPP), or a 6-digit Fibre Channel Address for a First 
Port Address member (DDPPAA) where D=domain ID, P=port number, 
and A=ALPA.

3.

Click the OK button to add the member and save the change.

                                                                                           

Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch 
domain IDs. These reassignments are not reflected in zones that use 
domain ID/port number pair to define their membership. Be sure to 
reconfigure zones that are affected by a domain ID change.
