Deactivating a zone configuration

Use this procedure to deactivate the active zone configuration.

There are several conditions that could cause the Deactivate button to be unavailable. They include
the following:

There is no active zone configuration in the selected fabric.

The fabric is not manageable.

You do not have Read/Write or Activate privileges for the selected fabric and the selected zone
database (for FC fabrics only).

The selected fabric is not supported by the Management application.

The selected fabric is no longer discovered.

1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.

The Zoning dialog box displays.

2. Click the Active Zone Configuration tab.

3. Select a fabric from the Active Zone Configuration list.

This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning
database for the selected entity.

4. Click Deactivate.

5. Click Yes on the confirmation message.

If the deactivation succeeded, the zone configuration no longer displays in the Active Zone
Configuration tab.
If the deactivation failed, the zone configuration still displays in the Active Zone Configuration
tab.

6. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.

Any zones or zone configurations you have changed are saved in the zone database.

Renaming a zone configuration

1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.

The Zoning dialog box displays.

2. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.

3. Select a fabric from the Zoning Scope list.

This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning
database for the selected entity.

4. Right-click the name of the zone configuration you want to change in the Zone Configurations

list and select Rename.

5. Type the new name for the zone configuration.
