REPLACING A WWN IN MULTIPLE ALIASES AND ZONES

This procedure enables you to replace a WWN throughout the Zone Admin buffer. This is helpful

when exchanging devices in your fabric and helps you to maintain your current configuration.

To replace a WWN in the Zone Admin buffer

1. Launch the Zone Administration window as described on page 96.

2. Click Edit> Replace WWN.

The Replace WWN dialog box opens.

3. Type the WWN to be replaced in the Replace field.

4. Type the new WWN in the By field and click OK.

The Replace WWN dialog box is displayed. It lists all the zoning elements that include the

WWN.

5. Click an item in the list to select or unselect, and click Replace to replace the WWN in all the

selected zoning elements.

The former WWN is replaced in the Zone Admin buffer by the new WWN, including within any

alias or zone in which the old WWN was a member.

SEARCHING FOR ZONE MEMBERS

You can search zone member selection lists for specified strings of text. If you know some

identifying information about a possible member of a zoning entity, you can select the tab and view

for that entity and then search through its member selection list using the Search for Zone Member

option. If the target entity is an alias or zone, then the search domain includes elements like switch

names and domain numbers, port names and “domain, port” addresses, device WWNs and

manufacturer names, and also any aliases that might already have been defined. If the target

entity is a configuration, then zones are also included, along with the elements they contain.
