Zones
Zones are logical entities that represent groupings of zone members. Each zone must
be assigned a unique zone name when it is defined.
Zone Sets
Zone sets are logical entities that represent groupings of zones. They define a zoning
configuration. Each zone set is assigned a unique zone set name when it is defined.
The MSA Fabric Switch 6 allows storing of multiple zone sets. However, only one of
these zone sets can be active at a time. The other zone sets can be used as backup,
trials, or other user-defined configurations.

lower case
