Copying Zone Sets; Renaming Zones, Zone Sets, And Aliases - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Zone Set Duplication
• To the full zone set
• To a remote location (using FTP, SCP, SFTP, or TFTP)
The active zone set is not part of the full zone set. You cannot make changes to an existing zone set and
activate it if the full zone set is lost or is not propagated.
Caution Copying an active zone set to a full zone set may overwrite a zone with the same name if it already exists
in the full zone set database.

Copying Zone Sets

On Cisco SAN switches, you cannot edit an active zone set. However, you can copy an active zone set to
create a new zone set that you can edit.
