Q

To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the Zoning menu from 
the faceplate display and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning window 
shown in 

. Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets, which are 

stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch.

The Edit Zoning window has a Zone Sets tree on the left and a Port/Device (or 
members) tree on the right. Both trees use display conventions similar to the 
fabric tree for expanding and contracting zone sets, zones, and ports. An 
expanded port shows the port Fibre Channel address; an expanded address 
shows the port worldwide name. You can select zone sets, zones, and ports in the 
following ways:

„

Click a zone, zone set, or port icon.

„

Right-click to select a zone set or zone, and open the corresponding popup 
menu.

„

Hold down the Shift key while clicking several consecutive icons.

„

Hold down the Control key while clicking several non-consecutive icons.

After defining zoning changes, choose the OK button to implement those changes 
and exit the Edit Zoning window. Choose the Apply button to save changes
