Closing the Zone Admin module

It is very important to remember that any changes you make in the Zone Admin module are not saved. It
is recommended that you always close the Zone Admin module from the File menu, as described in the
procedure below.
CAUTION: If you click the X in the top right corner of the Zone Admin module, the Zone Admin session is
closed immediately, and any changes you made without saving are lost. To avoid potential loss of data,
use the following procedure to close the Zone Admin module. In this procedure, the Zone Admin session
displays a warning if you have unsaved changes when you are trying to close the Zone Admin module.

Safely closing the Zone Admin module

1. From the Zone Admin module, select File > Close.
If any changes exist in the buffer that have not been saved, a warning dialog box opens, asking you
to confirm that you want to close the Zone Admin session without saving the changes.
2. Click Yes to close without saving changes, or click No to go back to the Zone Admin module to save
the changes as described in

Zoning views

You can choose how zoning elements are displayed in the Zone Admin module. The zoning view you
select determines how members are displayed in the Member Selection List panel (see
page 82). The views filter the fabric and device information displayed in the Member Selection List for the
selected view, making it easier for you to create and modify zones, especially when creating hard zones.
Depending on the method you use to zone, certain tabs might or might not be available in the Zone
Admin window.
There are four views of defining members for zoning:
• Mixed zoning, which displays the port area number, device WWNs, or QuickLoop AL_PAs, and is
useful when creating a soft zone
• Port zoning, which displays port area numbers only, and is useful when creating a hard zone
• WWN zoning, which displays device WWNs only, and is useful when creating a hard zone
• AL_PA zoning, which displays QuickLoop AL_PAs only, and is useful when creating a soft zone

Selecting a zoning view

1. Launch the Zone Admin module as described on
2. From the View menu, select one of the following:
• Mixed Zoning
• Port Zoning
• WWN Zoning
