When you disable a zone configuration from Web Tools, keep in mind that the entire zoning
database is automatically saved, and then the selected zone configuration is disabled.

when the current Zone Admin session was launched or last refreshed. The zones are displayed,
and their contents (ports, WWNs) are displayed next to them. Aliases are not displayed in the
enabled zone configuration. If there is no active zone configuration enabled on the switch, a
message displays to that effect.
