You can turn off the automatic zone configuration comparison function if you no longer want to see

successfully activated, the comparison function can display an alert icon if either of two conditions
exist.
The messages are “The active zone configuration does not exist in the zone database” and “The
active zone configuration does not match <zone configuration> in the zone database.” To turn off
the icons and the messages, complete the following steps.
1. After successfully activating a zone configuration, click the Active Zone Configuration tab in the
Zoning dialog box.
2. Select Turn off the comparison alerts between the active zone configuration and the zone
database check box.
Any existing alert icons and messages are cleared and further comparisons are prevented.
