The Management application begins performing various checks. Note the following events that
may occur:
•
For FC fabrics, and depending on the characters included in the name you gave to this
zone configuration, a message may display informing you the name contains characters
that are not accepted by some switch vendors and asking whether you want to proceed.
Click Yes to continue and proceed to the Activate Zone Config dialog box, or click No to
cancel the activation and consider your naming options.
•
For pure EOS fabrics, when the total number of zones and zone members defined exceeds
the limit recommended for the system firmware, a warning message displays informing
you of this fact and asking whether you want to proceed. Consider carefully whether you
want to continue with the zone configuration activation. The limits are set to ensure stable
fabrics; if you proceed, you may undermine the stability of your fabric. Click Yes to continue
and proceed to the Activate Zone Config dialog box, or click No to cancel the activation.
You can then click Cancel to close the Activate Zone Config dialog box, reduce the number
of zones or zone members on the Zone DB tab, and then return to this procedure to
activate the zone configuration.
a. Make sure the selected zone configuration is the one you want to activate.
b. Select or clear the Generate a report check box as required.
c. If you are activating a zone configuration from the offline zone database, select or clear
the Save only the selected zone configuration to the existing zone database in the fabric
check box.
•
If the check box is cleared (default), the entire offline zone database is saved to the
switch and replaces the existing online zone database.
•
If the check box is selected, only the selected zone configuration and any TI zones in
the offline zone database are saved to the switch and are added to the existing online
zone database.
Click OK to activate the zone configuration.
If you are activating a zone configuration from the offline zone database, a message might
display informing you of name conflicts between items in the offline zone database and the
existing online zone database. Click Yes to overwrite the items in the online zone database, or
No to cancel the activation.
A message box displays informing you that the zones and zone configurations you change will
be saved in the zone database and asking whether you want to proceed. Click Yes to confirm
the activation, or No to cancel the activation.
When you click Yes, a busy window displays indicating the activation is in progress. A status
field informs you whether the activation succeeded or failed. When it succeeds, icons for the
active zone configuration and its zones display green. When it fails, the message includes the
reason for the failure.
