Chapter 5 Configuring Zones and Zone Sets
Creating Zone Sets
To create zone sets, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database from the Zone menu or right-click a VSAN folder in the
Logical tab and choose Edit Local Full Zone Database from the pop-up menu.
Step 2 Select a VSAN and click OK.
You see the VSAN you selected in the Edit Local Full Zone Database window.
Step 3 Right-click the Zonesets folder in the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box for that VSAN and
select Insert to add a zone set (see Figure 5-6).
Figure 5-6 Insert a new zone set
Step 4
Assign a name to the new zone set.
Step 5 In the left pane, drag and drop zones into the zone set.
Step 6 After creating a zone set, you must activate it to take effect. Click a zone set to activate it or right-click
the zone set and select Activate. This configuration is distributed to the other switches in the network
fabric.
Note When you confirm the activate operation, the current running configuration is saved to the
startup configuration. This permanently saves any changes made to the running configuration
(not just zoning changes).
Step 7 After creating a zone set and activating it, make sure you save the configuration file. See Appendix C,
“Configuration Files,” for details about copying and saving configuration files.
