After saving the zoning change, the selected port names change from yellow
to green and the word “add” is removed. An additional message asking
whether to save the zone is displayed. Click on Yes to save this defined zone,
or No to erase the zone when the SANsurfer application is exited.
Combining Fabrics with Zones Defined
There may be an occasion when two fabrics are to be connected and both fabrics
have zones defined. When the fabrics are connected, zones with the same name
will become a single zone with that name. If the devices within the zones with the
same name should not be zoned together:
•
Define the zone in one fabric as a new zone that doesn’t exist in the other
fabric
•
Remove the ports zoned to the previous zone but don’t remove the zone
itself. When a zone is deleted, the subsequent zones will be renumbered so
they remain in sequential order.
For example, if fabric A is using zones 1 and 2, and fabric B is using zones 1, 2,
and 3, connecting the two fabrics will result in zones 1, 2, and 3. Assuming that
combining zone 1 from each fabric is acceptable but combining zone 2 is not, the
following steps would be necessary:
1.
Go to the Fabric Zoning window for the fabric with the most defined zones
(in this example it is fabric B). Select the zone type to be changed.
2.
Select the Zone Index for zone 2 (the zone that can’t be combined with zone
2 of fabric A).
3.
Record the ports attached to this zone.
4.
Remove all assigned ports.
5.
Click on the Add Zone button. Observe that zone 4 is created.
6.
Add the ports that were designated as part of zone 2.
7.
Click the Apply button to save the changes.
NOTE:
If the port number doesn’t change to green or the word “add” is not removed, click
to the right of the port number. Another method is to press the Back button, press
the Refresh button, and return to the zoning window to verify that the port numbers
are now green for designated ports.
