The Replace WWN dialog box lists all the zoning elements that include the WWN.

6.

Click an item in the list to select or unselect, and then click Replace to replace the WWN in all the

selected zoning elements.
The former WWN is replaced in the Zone Admin buffer by the new WWN, including within any alias

or zone in which the old WWN was a member.

Searching for a zone member

You can search zone member selection lists for specified strings of text. If you know some identifying

information about a possible member of a zoning entity, you can select the tab and view for that entity

and then search through its member selection list using the Search for Zone Member option. If the target

entity is an alias, zone, QuickLoop, or FA zone, the search domain includes elements like switch names

and domain numbers, port names and “domain, port” addresses, device WWNs, and manufacturer

names, and also any aliases that already have been defined. If the target entity is a configuration, zones,

FA zones, and QuickLoops are also included, along with the elements they contain.

The search starts at the top of the list; when the target element is found, it is also selected in the Member

Selection List so it can be added or its parent or children can be found. By default, the Member Selection

List is searched from beginning to end one time. If you select the wraparound option, the search continues

to loop from the beginning to the end of the Member Selection List.
