Switch Manager Using the Zoning Config dialog box Use the Zoning Config dialog box to change the Interop Auto Save and Default Visibility configuration parameters. In the faceplate display, select Zoning > Edit Zoning Config to open the Zoning Config dialog box (Figure 16). After making changes, click OK to put the new values into effect. Figure 16: Zoning Config dialog box Interop Auto Save parameter The Interop Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives from other switches in the fabric is 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. However, if Interop Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware saves changes to the active zone set in temporary memory and to the zoning database. If Interop Auto Save is disabled, changes to the active zone set are stored only in temporary memory, which is cleared when the switch is reset. Interop Auto Save is not supported at this time. Note: Disabling the Interop Auto Save parameter can be useful to prevent the propagation of zoning information when experimenting with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the Interop Auto Save parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be reset. For this reason, the Interop Auto Save parameter should be enabled in a production environment. Interop Auto Save is not supported at this time. Default Visibility parameter Default visibility determines the level of communication that is permitted among ports/devices when there is no active zone set. The default visibility parameter can be set differently on each switch. When default visibility is enabled (ALL) on a switch, all ports/devices on the switch can communicate with all ports/devices on switches that also have default visibility enabled. When Default Visibility is disabled (NONE), none of the ports/devices on that switch can communicate with any other port/device in the fabric. Restoring default zoning Restoring the default zoning clears the switch of all zoning definitions. Caution: This command deactivates the active zone set. 1. In the faceplate display, select Zoning > Restore Default Zoning. 2. Click OK to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database. 48 HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide

Using the Zoning Config dialog box

Use the Zoning Config dialog box to change the Interop Auto Save and Default Visibility

configuration parameters. In the faceplate display, select

Zoning > Edit Zoning Config

open the Zoning Config dialog box (

Figure 16

). After making changes, click

to put the

new values into effect.

Figure 16:

Zoning Config dialog box

Interop Auto Save parameter

The Interop Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a

switch receives from other switches in the fabric is 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. However, if Interop Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware

saves changes to the active zone set in temporary memory and to the zoning database. If

Interop Auto Save is disabled, changes to the active zone set are stored only in temporary

memory, which is cleared when the switch is reset. Interop Auto Save is not supported at this

time.

Note:

Disabling the Interop Auto Save parameter can be useful to prevent the propagation of

zoning information when experimenting with different zoning schemes. However, leaving the

Interop Auto Save parameter disabled can disrupt device configurations should a switch have to be

reset. For this reason, the Interop Auto Save parameter should be enabled in a production

environment. Interop Auto Save is not supported at this time.

Default Visibility parameter

Default visibility determines the level of communication that is permitted among ports/devices

when there is no active zone set. The default visibility parameter can be set differently on each

switch. When default visibility is enabled (ALL) on a switch, all ports/devices on the switch

can communicate with all ports/devices on switches that also have default visibility enabled.

When Default Visibility is disabled (NONE), none of the ports/devices on that switch can

communicate with any other port/device in the fabric.

Restoring default zoning

Restoring the default zoning clears the switch of all zoning definitions.

Caution:

This command deactivates the active zone set.

In the faceplate display, select

Zoning > Restore Default Zoning

Click

to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database.
