Clearing the Zone Server Database

You can clear all configured information in the zone server database for the specified VSAN. To clear
the zone server database, use the following command:
switch# clear zone database vsan 2
After issuing a clear zone database command, you must explicitly issue the copy running-config
Note
startup-config to ensure that the running configuration is used when the switch reboots.
Clearing a zone set only erases the full zone database, not the active zone database.
