 Name Server enhancements  FDMI (Fabric Device Management Interface) enhancements Zoning Enhancements The zoning enhancements in FOS v7.1 are as follows:  Ability to replace a zone member (WWN/D, I) by another member via the zoneobjectreplace command.  Enhancement to the existing commands (zoneCreate, zoneAdd, zoneRemove) to take a collection of zone aliases as an input instead of a single alias member. The group of aliases is selected by matching a pattern specified by the user in the command line.  Provide more options to the existing commands, zoneshow and cfgshow, to list details/differences between the transaction buffer and the committed/saved zone database.  Warn users at the time of cfgSave, if the zone database edits in the open zone transaction will make the Defined and Effective Zone configurations inconsistent. This warning reduces the risk of having mismatched effective zone configurations in the same fabric when merging a switch into the fabric.  Warn or notify users, when multiple users attempt to simultaneously configure or reconfigure zone sets in more than one switch of a fabric.
