Using the Quick Config Wizard

As of Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.1(1) and NX-OS Release 4.1(2), you can use the Quick Config Wizard on the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch to add or remove zone members per VSAN. You can use the Quick Config Wizard to perform interface-based zoning and to assign zone members for multiple VSANs using Device Manager.

Note The Quick Config Wizard is supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch, the Cisco MDS 9134 Fabric Switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.

Restrictions

The Quick Config Wizard can only be used on standalone switches that do not have any existing zoning defined on the switch.

Detailed Steps

To add or remove ports from a zone and to zone only the devices within a specific VSAN using Device Manager on the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch, follow these steps:

Choose FC > Quick Config or click the Zone icon in the toolbar.

You see the Quick Config Wizard with all controls disabled and the Discrepancies dialog box, which shows all unsupported configurations.

Note You will see the Discrepancies dialog box only if there are any discrepancies.

Click OK to continue.

You see the Quick Config Wizard dialog box.

Caution

If there are discrepancies and you click OK, the affected VSANs in the zone databases are cleared. This might be disruptive if the switch is in use.

Check the check box in the Ports Zoned To column for the port you want to add or remove from a zone. The check box for the matching port is similarly set. The selected port pair is added or removed from the zone, which creates a two-device zone.

The VSAN drop-down menu provides a filter that enables you to zone only those devices within a selected VSAN.

Right-click any of the column names to show or hide a column.

Click Next to verify the changes.

You see the Confirm Changes dialog box.

If you want to see the CLI commands, right-click in the dialog box and click CLI Commands from the pop-up menu.

Click Finish to save the configuration changes.
