HP Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 94)

94 Zone administration
Figure 31 Zone Admin module
The information in the Zone Admin module is collected from the selected switch.
If secure mode is enabled, zoning can be administered only from the primary FCS switch. If the selected
switch has an Advanced Zoning license installed, but is not the primary FCS switch, the Zone Admin icon
is displayed in the Fabric Toolbar but not activated. For specific information regarding secure fabrics, refer
to the HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS user guide.
When you click the Zone Admin icon from the Fabric Toolbar, you must log in as an admin user to launch
the Zone Admin module. A snapshot is taken of all the zoning configurations at the time you launch the
Zone Admin module; this information is not updated automatically by Advanced Web Tools. To update
this information, see ” Refreshing the Zone Admin module information ” on page 96.
CAUTION: Any changes you make in the Zone Admin module are held in a buffered environment and
do not update the zoning database until you save the changes. If you close the Zone Admin module
without saving your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the Zone
Admin module to the zoning database on the switch, see ” Saving local zoning changes ” on page 96.
Saving means updating the zoning database on the switch with the local changes from the Advanced
Web Tools buffer. Refreshing means copying the current state of the zoning database on the switch to the
Advanced Web Tools buffer, overwriting its current contents.
In the Zone Admin module, all WWNs also display vendor names. In the Member Selection List panel
( Figure 31 ), you can right-click port and device nodes to display which aliases the port or device is a
member of. You can also right-click the device nodes and select View Device Detail to display detailed
information about the selected device, as shown in Figure 32 .
