Click the Alias tab to display which aliases the port or device is a member of. Also, you can
right-click the device nodes and click View Device Detail to display detailed information about the
selected device.
The Member Selection List panel displays only physical FC ports. To verify whether you have any
unzoned devices, you must use Brocade Network Advisor to analyze zone configurations.
Admin Domain considerations: The Member Selection List panel displays a filtered list of ports that
are:
•

•
•
NOTE
When no user- defined Admin Domains are present on the switch, AD0 displays the port count. If
there are user-defined Admin Domains, AD0 does not show the port count and the user-defined AD
displays the port count.

Refreshing fabric information

This function refreshes the display of fabric elements only (switches, ports, and devices). It does
not affect any zoning element changes or update zone information in the Zone Admin window. You
can refresh the fabric element information displayed at any time.
To refresh fabric information.
1. Open the Zone Admin window.
2. Select View > Refresh From Live Fabric.

Refreshing Zone Admin window information

The information displayed in the Zone Admin window is initially a snapshot of the contents of the
fabric zoning database at the time the window is launched. Any changes you make to this window
are saved to a local buffer; but they are not applied to the fabric zoning database until you invoke
one of the transactional operations listed in the Zoning Actions menu.

Direct port members that are zoneable and are displayed in the tree.
Indirect port members to which owned devices are attached are displayed in the tree, but
cannot be added to a zone or alias.
Direct device members that are zoneable and are displayed in the tree.
Indirect device members (devices that are currently attached to owned ports) that are also
zoneable and displayed in the tree. But if such a device is later moved to a non-owned port it
will no longer be displayed or zoneable.
Switches and blades that are displayed only if they contain owned ports or devices, regardless
of switch ownership, such as the FS8-18 Encryption blade.
Ports that are indirect members only because the switch is owned are not displayed.
This refreshes the status for the fabric, including switches, ports, and devices.
NOTE
Depending on the role associated with your user name or if the switch is owned by the current
Admin Domain you are logged in to, you may not be able to modify zones or ports in other
Admin Domains.
