The selected FA zone is deleted from the Zone Admin buffer.
Managing zoning configurations
A zone configuration is a group of zones. Zoning is enabled on a fabric by enabling a specific
configuration. You can specify members of a configuration using the following methods:
• Zone names
• QuickLoop names
• FA zone names
Figure 33 shows a sample zoning database and the relationship among the zone aliases, zones, and
zoning configuration. The database contains one zoning configuration,
myconfig
, which contains two
zones:
Zone A
and
Zone B
. The database also contains four aliases, which are members of Zone A and
Zone B. Zone A and Zone B also have additional members other than the aliases.
