Launching the zone admin module
This section describes how to launch the Zone Admin module, from which all zoning procedures are
performed.
To launch the Zone Administration module, right-click the fabric in the SAN Elements tab and select Zone
Admin from the context menu. The Zone Admin module is displayed (see Figure 102 on page 166).
In the Zone Admin module, right-click the name of a device in the Member Selection list to launch the
Device Detail view for that element.
You can click the enabled configuration button (located in the top right corner of the Zone Admin
module) to view the effective zoning configuration (a separate window opens).
A live snapshot is taken of all the zoning configurations at the time you launch the Zone Admin module.
Information displayed in the Zone Admin module is not updated automatically by Advanced Web Tools.
If anyone changes the zone configurations after you launch the Zone Admin module, the refresh icon (in
the bottom right corner of the window) blinks. When you click the refresh icon, any changes you have
made in the Zone Admin session that are not saved are lost, and the latest Zone Configuration information
is displayed in the Zone Admin module.
Managing zoning
With the Zone Admin module, you can perform several administration functions, such as managing:
• Zone aliases
• Zones
• QuickLoops
• Fabric Assist Zones
• Zoning configurations
• The zoning database
For detailed instructions on using the Advanced Web Tools Zone Admin module, see the HP StorageWorks
Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide.
