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 retained
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
 Zoning Database Limits
Configured Zone Set Information
The Zoneset List and the Zoning List commands display information about the all
zone sets in the non-volatile zoning database. Enter the Zoneset List command to
display a list of the zone sets as shown in the following example:
