Managing Fabric Zoning

Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed 

switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to 
configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the 
individual switches. You will not see aliases in the active zone set.

Creating an Alias

To create an alias, do the following:

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

2.  Open the Edit menu, and select Create Alias to open the Create Alias dialog.

3.  Enter a name for the alias, and click the OK button. The alias name is displayed in 

the Zone Sets dialog. An alias name must begin with a letter and be no longer 
than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, $, ^, and -.

4.  Click the Apply button to open the Save Zoning & Error Check dialog.

Adding a Member to an Alias

You can add a port/device to an alias by domain ID and port number, device port 
Fibre Channel address, or the device port WWN. To add ports/devices to an alias, 
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 alias.

■

Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. Click an alias to select multiple 
ports/devices, press the Control key while selecting. Select an alias. 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 an alias. 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 alias.

b.  Open the Edit menu and select Create Members.

c.  Select the WWN, Domain/Port, or FC Address option.
