• For more information about which zoning features are supported for your switches, see
Table 134 on page 521.
• Cisco SMI-S Switch Connections only: Active zone sets are listed multiple times for each switch in
the virtual SAN. When a zone set is activated, the zone set is copied to each switch in the virtual
SAN. The zone set is then listed twice (active and non-active versions) for each switch.
To access information about zone sets and to be able to manage them:
1. Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Provisioning Manager in HP Systems Insight Manager.
2. In the right pane, click the SAN Zoning tab.
3. Click the Provision button for the fabric in which you want to access information about a zone
set.
4. Click Step 3 Zone.
5. Cisco SMI-S Switch Connections only: Select the virtual SAN in which you want to view zone sets
from the VSAN menu.
This page lists information about zone sets under the following columns:
• Name - Click the name of the zone set to view its properties.
Keep in mind the following:
• (Cisco SMI-S switches) The management server prefixes the names of zone sets on Cisco
switches with the name of the Virtual SAN and the switch the zone sets reside on. For
example, assume you have the name VSANNAME:cisco1:ZoneSetName displayed
under the Name column. VSANNAME is the name of the virtual SAN in which the zone
set was created, cisco1 is the name of the switch containing the zone set, and
ZoneSetName is the name the user assigned to the zone set.
• (QLogic SMI-S switches) The management server prefixes the names of zone sets on
QLogic switches with the name of the switch. For example, assume you have the name
Qlogic1:Zone_set_name displayed under the Name column. Qlogic1 is the name of the
switch, and Zone_set_name is the name the user assigned to the zone set.
• Zones - Click the name of the zone to view its properties.

zone set, you make elements outside of the zone set inaccessible. For more information, see
