8 Managing zoning with Web Tools Saving the changes propagates any changes you have made in the Zone Administration window (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 110). This action updates the entire contents of the Zone Administration window, not just the selected zone, alias, or configuration. You can save your changes at any time during the Zone Administration session. 1. Make the zoning changes in the Zone Administration window. 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 108. Closing the Zone Administration window It is very important to remember that any changes you make in the Zone Administration window are not saved automatically. It is recommended that you always close the Zone Administration window from the File menu, as described in the procedure below. 1. From the Zone Administration window, click File> Close. If any changes exist in the buffer that have not been saved, a warning message dialog box provides you with the option of saving your changes. 2. Click Yes to close without saving changes, or click No to go back to the Zone Administration window to save the changes as described in "Saving local zoning changes" on page 99. Select a zoning view You can choose how zoning elements are displayed in the Zone Administration window. The zoning view you select determines how members are displayed in the Member Selection List panel (see Figure 46). The views filter the fabric and device information displayed in the Member Selection List for the selected view, making it easier for you to create and modify zones, especially when creating "hard zones." Depending on the method you use to zone, certain tabs might or might not be available in the Zone Administration window. There are two views of defining members for zoning: • Fabric View-Displays the physical hierarchy of the fabric, a list of the attached and imported physical devices (by WWN), and a list of the FC Virtual Initiators on switches that support iSCSI. In the Fabric View, you can select ports for port-based zoning or devices for WWN-based zoning. 100 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1000606-01
