Adding Zone Members
You can zone a port/device by switch domain ID and port number, device port
Fibre Channel address, or the device port WWN. Adding a port/device to a zone
affects every zone set in which that zone is a member. To add ports/devices to a
zone, do the following:
1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning
dialog.
2. Choose one of the following methods to add the port/device:
Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone.
To select multiple ports/devices, press and hold the Control key while
selecting.
Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. To select multiple
ports/devices, press the Control key while selecting. Select a zone set
in the left pane. Open the Edit menu and select Add Members.
Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. To select multiple
ports/devices, press the Control key while selecting. Select a zone set
in the left pane. Click the Insert button.
If the port/device you want to add is not in the Port/Device tree, you can add
it by doing the following:
a. Right click the selected zone.
b. Open the Edit menu and select Create Members.
c. Choose the WWN, Domain/Port, or First Port Address radio button.
d. Enter the hexadecimal value for the port/device according to the radio
button selection: 16 digits for a WWN member, 4 digits for a Domain/
Port member (DDPP), or a 6-digit Fibre Channel Address for a First
Port Address member (DDPPAA) where D=domain ID, P=port number,
and A=ALPA.
3. Click the OK button to add the member and save the change.
NOTE: Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch
domain IDs. These reassignments are not reflected in zones that use
domain ID/port number pair to define their membership. Be sure to
reconfigure zones that are affected by a domain ID change.
