The zone menu provides the following options:

<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp352943"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Edit Local Full Zone Database&#8212;Allows you to create zones across multiple switches.  Zones 
provide a mechanism for specifying access control.  Zone sets are a group of zones to enforce access 
control in the fabric. All zoning features are available through the Edit Local Full Zone Database 
dialog box. 
</li>
<a name="wp353895"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Deactivate Zoneset&#8212;Deactivates an active zone set.
</li>
<a name="wp353901"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Copy Full Zone Database&#8212;Creates a new zone set. On the Cisco MDS Family switches, you cannot 
edit an active zone set. However, you can copy an active zone set to create a new zone set that you 
can edit.
</li>
<a name="wp352947"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Merge Analysis&#8212;Enables you to determine if zones will merge successfully when two Cisco MDS 
switches are interconnected. If the interconnected switch ports allow VSANs with identical names 
or contain zones with identical names, then Cisco DCNM-SAN verifies that the zones contain 
identical members. You can use merge analysis tool before attempting a merge, or after fabrics are 
interconnected to determine zone merge failure causes.
</li>
<a name="wp358172"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Merge Fail Recovery&#8212;Recovers the port from its isolated state either by importing the neighboring 
switch&#39;s active zone set database and replacing the current active or by exporting the current 
database to the neighboring switch.
</li>
<a name="wp352940"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Migrate Non-MDS Database&#8212;Migrate a non-MDS database using Cisco DCNM-SAN (you may 
need to use the Zone Migration Wizard to accomplish this task).
