Saving Local Zoning Changes All information displayed and all changes made in the Zone Admin module are buffered until you save the changes. That means that any other user looking at the zone information for the switch will not see the changes you have made until you save them. Saving the changes propagates any changes you have made in the Zone Admin module (buffered changes) to the zoning database on the switch. If another user has a zoning operation in progress at the time that you attempt to save changes, a warning is displayed that indicates that another zoning transaction is in progress on the fabric. You can select to abort the other transaction and override it with yours. If the zoning database size exceeds the maximum allowed, you cannot save the changes. The zoning database summary displays the maximum zoning database size (see "Displaying Zone Configuration Summaries" on page 9-26). This action updates the entire contents of the Zone Admin module, not just the selected zone, alias, or configuration. You can save your changes at any time during the zone administration session. To save zone changes to the switch zoning database 1. Make the zoning changes in the Zone Admin module. 2. Click Zoning Actions > Save Config Only. Note If you have made changes to a configuration, you must enable the configuration before the changes will be effective. To enable the configuration, see "Enabling Zone Configurations" on page 9-23.
