Displaying Zoning Database Information
A switch maintains three zoning databases:
Non-volatile–This zoning database is permanent and contains all zone sets,
zones, and aliases that you create and save on a switch. The zone sets in
the non-volatile zoning database are known as configured zone sets.
Volatile–This zoning database is temporary. This means it is not retain
across switch resets. The volatile zoning database can be the working copy
of a zone set being edited or the active zone set received from another
switch. In the latter case, this is also known as the merged zone set.
Active–This zoning database is the active zone set.
You can display the following information about the zoning database:
Configured Zone Set Information
Active Zone Set Information
Merged Zone Set Information
Edited Zone Set Information
Zone Set Membership Information
Orphan Zone Information
Alias and Alias Membership Information
Zoning Modification History
