Converting Zone members to pWWN-based Members
Fabric Manager Release 2.1(2) introduced the ability to convert zone and alias members from switch port
or FC ID based memberhip to pWWN-based membership. You can use this feature to convert to pWWN
so that your zone configuration does not change if a card or switch is changed in your fabric.
To convert switch port and FC ID members to pWWN members using Fabric Manager, Follow these
steps:
Step 1 Select Edit Local Full Zone Database... from the Zone menu.
You see the Select VSAN dialog box.
Step 2 Select the VSAN on which you want to convert the zone membership and click OK. You see the zone
information for that VSAN.
Step 3 Right-click the any folder in the left window pane and select Convert Switch Port/FCID members to
pWWN.... You see the conversion dialog box, listing all members that will be converted.
Step 4 Verify the changes and click Continue Conversion.
Step 5 Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box to convert that member to pWWN based membership.
Zone Set Creation
In Figure 15-3, two separate sets are created, each with its own membership hierarchy and zone
members.

enforce access control in the fabric. Either zone set A or zone set B can be activated (but not together).
