Copying Zone Sets

</h1>
<a name="wp1077048"> </a><p class="pBody">
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.

</p>
<a name="wp1092057"> </a><h2 class="pHeading2">
Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1195726"> </a><p class="pBody">
To make a copy of a zone set, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1195727"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Choose <b style="font-weight: bold" class="cBold">Zone</b><span style="font-weight: bold"> </span>&gt; <b class="cBold">Copy Full Zone Database</b>. 
</li>
<a name="wp1195728"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the Copy Full Zone Database dialog box. 

</p>
<a name="wp1195730"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Active</b> or the <b class="cBold">Full </b>radio button, depending on which type of database you want to copy.
</li>
<a name="wp1195732"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Select the source VSAN from the drop-down list.
</li>
<a name="wp1195734"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">If you selected <b class="cBold">Copy Full</b>, select the source switch and the destination VSAN from those drop-down 
lists.
</li>
<a name="wp1195736"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Select the destination switch from the drop-down list.
</li>
<a name="wp1195738"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Copy </b>to copy the database.

<strong>Caution	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>
</td>
<td>
<p>If the Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR) feature is enabled and if IVR zones exist in the active zone set, then a 
zone set copy operation copies all the IVR zones to the full zone database. To prevent copying to the IVR 
zones, you must explicitly remove them from the full zone set database before performing the copy 
operation. Refer to the <em class="cEmphasis">Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Inter-VSAN Routing Configuration Guide</em> for 
more information on the IVR feature.
