device is added or removed from the network, it is necessary to save the
changes and relaunch the Zone Administration view for the changes to take

When administering Zoning, the following steps are recommended:
1. Define zone aliases to establish groupings.
2. Add zone members.
3. Place zones into one or more zone configurations.
4. Enable one of the zone configurations (only one can be enabled at a time).
There are three separate methods for adding members to a zone. Each
method corresponds to a zoning "mode," and the combination of the
methods corresponds to an additional mode. Once a mode is selected, all
zoning operations must correspond to that mode, and any zones, aliases,
and configuration files which do not cannot be selected.

Zoning by physical domain/port number. All alias,

performed using port. Aliases, zones, and
configuration files which have objects other than
ports cannot be selected or operated on.
Zoning by WWNs only. All alias, zoning, and
configuration file operations must be performed by
WWNs. Aliases, zones, and configuration files
which have objects other than WWNs cannot be
selected or operated on.
Zoning by Quick Loop device. All alias, zoning, and
configuration file operations must be on AL_PAs in a
QuickLoop. Aliases, zones, and configuration files
which have objects other than AL_PAs in a
QuickLoop cannot be selected or operated on.
