To modify the non-volatile zoning database, you must open an Admin session with 
the 

 Start command. An Admin session prevents other accounts from 

making changes at the same time through Telnet, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or 
another management application. You must also open a Zoning Edit session with 
the 

 Configured command. To modify the temporary merged zone set 

(if one exists), enter the 

 Merged command. The Zoning Edit session 

provides access to the 

, and Zoning commands with which 

you make modifications to the zoning database.

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #> zoning edit

SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoneset . . .

SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zone . . .

SANbox (admin-zoning)#> alias . . .

SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoning . . .

When you are finished making changes, enter the 

 command to save 

the changes and close the Zoning Edit session.

SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoning save

To close the Zoning Edit session without saving changes, enter the 

command.

SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoning cancel

Changes to the active zone set do not take effect until you activate it with the 
Zoneset Activate command. The active zone set is propagated throughout the 
fabric.

SANbox (admin)#> zoneset activate zoneset_1

SANbox (admin)#> admin end

The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators 
when you are done making changes to the switch.

To remove all zoning database objects (aliases, zones, and zone sets) and restore 
the zoning database to its factory state, enter the 

 Zoning command as 

shown in the following example:

SANbox (admin) #> reset zoning
