Copying a Zone Set
This feature copies a zone set and all of its members, such as zones and zone aliases. You can use
this feature to copy inactive and active zone sets. The newly created zone set is inactive.
The management server stops the copying process of an active zone set if the management server
finds one of the following:
•
An inactive zone set with the same name as the name entered for the copy.
•
An inactive zone with the same name as an active zone, but they do not have the same content.
Active zones in a zone set have corresponding inactive zones for redundancy. If you attempt to copy
an active zone set containing a zone that does not have a corresponding inactive zone, the
management server creates an inactive zone with the same name as the active zone. The inactive
zone is used as a backup for the active zone.
IMPORTANT:
This feature is supported only for switches that support zone set copying. Refer to
on page 341 for information on which switches support zone set copying. Aliases in the
zone set are not copied over for McDATA switches.
To copy a zone set:
1.
Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Provisioning Manager in HP Systems Insight Manager.
2.
In the right pane, click the SAN Zoning tab.
3.
In the right pane, click the Provision button corresponding to the fabric in which you want to
copy a zone set.
4.
Click Step 3 Zone Set.
5.
Click the corresponding button for the zone set you want to copy.

Enter the name of the new zone set. If you are copying an active zone set, make sure you do not
enter the name of a pre-existing inactive zone set.
