Duplicating a zone configuration
When you duplicate a zone configuration, you make a copy of it in the same zone database. The
first time a zone configuration is duplicated, the duplicate is automatically given the name
<zonesetlabel>_copy. On subsequent duplications, a sequential number is assigned to the zone
configuration name, such as <zonesetlabel>_copy_1, <zonesetlabel>_copy_2, and
<zonesetlabel>_copy_3.
Note that these naming conventions apply to both duplicate and deep duplicate operations.
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.
