Using the GUI to Troubleshoot Zoning Configuration Issues
Much of the information accessible through CLI commands can be accessed and summarized using the
Fabric Manager VSAN/Zone view. For example, to check which devices belong to the active zoneset on
a specific VSAN, click on the folder representing the active zoneset. This will display the set of devices
belonging to that zoneset in that particular VSAN.
Similarly, by expanding the active zoneset folder content (clicking on the ‘+’ next to the folder) the
members of the active zoneset (the active zones) will be displayed as new folders.
