Restoring the default zoning database Restoring the default zoning clears the switch of all zoning definitions. NOTE: This command deactivates the active zone set. To restore the default zoning database: 1. Select Zoning > Restore Default Zoning. 2. Click OK to confirm that you want to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database. Removing all zone and zone set definitions To remove all zone and zone set definitions, choose one of the following options: • Select Edit > Clear Zoning. In the Removes All dialog box, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete all zones and zone sets. • Right-click the Zone Sets heading at the top of the Zone Sets tree, and then select Clear Zoning from the popup menu. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete all zone sets and zones. Configuring the zoning database Use the Zoning Config dialog box (Figure 19) to change the Merge Auto Save, Default Zone, and Discard Inactive configuration parameters. To open the Zoning Config dialog box, open the Zoning menu and select Edit Zoning Config. After making the changes, click OK to put the new values into effect. Figure 19 Zoning Config dialog box Merge Auto Save The Merge Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives from other switches in the fabric are saved to the zoning database on that switch. Changes are saved when an updated zone set is activated. Zoning changes are always saved to temporary memory. • If Merge Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware saves changes to the active zone set in temporary memory and to the zoning database. • If Merge Auto Save is disabled, changes to the active zone set are stored only in temporary memory, which is cleared when the switch is reset. NOTE: Disabling the Merge Auto Save parameter can be useful to prevent the propagation of zoning information when experimenting with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the Merge Auto Save parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the Merge Auto Save parameter should be enabled in a production environment. HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide 41
