Fabric Zoning
142 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
The following are some important points to remember about zone sets:
■ If no zone set is active, and the default zone is disabled, then no devices can
communicate.
■ If you activate a zone set when there is already an active zone set, that set will
replace the currently active zone set.
■ If you deactivate the current active zone set, then all devices connected in the
fabric become members of the default zone.
Active Zone Set
An active zone set is a zone set that is currently active on a single-switch fabric or
across all managed products in a multiswitch fabric. At any time, you can disable
zoning by deactivating the active zone set and enabling the default zone, or you
can enable zoning by activating a zone set. When a zone set is active, all zones that
are members of that zone set are active. Only one zone set can be active for the
fabric at one time. If no zones are active, then all devices are considered to be in
the default zone.
Zoning Library
The Zoning Library contains all of the zone members, zones, and zone sets
configured through the HAFM. Any zone set in the library may be selected and
activated on a fabric. You can view components of this library through dialog
boxes and panels in the Zones and Zone Sets tabs of the Zoning Library dialog
box.
