tasks:
•
Add Unzoned Devices
•
Remove Offline Devices
•
Replace Offline Devices
•
Define Device Alias
Access the wizards through the Tools menu in the Zone Admin module. The following sections describe
the zoning tasks and the procedure for accessing the wizards for each task. The wizards are self-
explanatory, so the specific steps are not documented here.
Note
The left side of each wizard window lists the steps you need to take to complete the task. The current
step is in blue, as shown in
the task multiple times; as a result, each step is listed in this panel, so that you not only see the steps that
you still need to perform, but also the steps that you have already performed.
The step numbers do not necessarily match the overall numbering in this panel.
