Importing and Exporting Zone Sets

To import or export the zone set information from or to an adjacent switch, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# zoneset import interface fc1/3
vsan 2
switch# zoneset import interface fc1/3
vsan 2-5
Step 2
switch# zoneset export vsan 5
switch# zoneset export vsan 5-8
Note Issue the import and export commands from a single switch. Importing from one switch and exporting
from another switch can lead to isolation again.
OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
Import the neighboring switch's active zone set database and replace the current active zone set (see
Figure 23-5).
Export the current database to the neighboring switch.
Manually resolve the conflict by editing the full zone set, activating the corrected zone set, and then
bringing up the link.
