The Zoning dialog box displays.
This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning
database for the selected entity.
A new zone displays in the Zones list.
For zone name requirements and limitations, refer to
page 605.
> Priority_Level (High, Medium, or Low).
NOTE
QoS priority support is available for zones with WWN or Domain,Index (D,I) members.
QoS zones using D,I notation cannot be created if any of the switches in the fabric are running
Fabric OS versions earlier than 6.3.0.
The zone name is automatically renamed to QoSX_Zone_Name, where X is the priority level
(H—High, M—Medium, or L—Low) and Zone_Name is the name you entered for the zone.
For offline zone databases only, complete the following steps to save the zone configuration
into the switch from the offline zone database:
a. Select Save to Switch from the Zone DB Operation list.
b. Click Yes on the confirmation message.
The selected zone database is saved to the fabric without enabling a specific zone
configuration.
A message displays informing you that any zones or zone configurations you have changed will
be saved in the zone database, and warning you to make sure no other user is making changes
to the same areas.
If the zone is empty, a warning message displays.
