Clearing the Zone Server Database

You can clear all configured information in the zone server database for the specified VSAN.To clear the
zone server database, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
Note Clearing a zone set only erases the full zone database, not the active zone database.
After clearing the zone server database, you must explicitly copy the running configuration to the startup
Note
configuration to ensure that the running configuration is used when the switch reboots.

About Zone-Based Traffic Priority

The zoning feature provides an additional segregation mechanism to prioritize select zones in a fabric
and set up access control between devices. Using this feature, you can configure the quality of service
(QoS) priority as a zone attribute. You can assign the QoS traffic priority attribute to be high, medium,
or low. By default, zones with no specified priority are implicitly assigned a low priority. See the
Versus Zone-Based QoS" section on page 64-5
To use this feature, you need to obtain the ENTERPRISE_PKG license see
Installing Licenses"
page
This feature allows SAN administrators to configure QoS in terms of a familiar data flow identification
paradigm. You can configure this attribute on a zone-wide basis rather than between zone members.
If zone-based QoS is implemented in a switch, you cannot configure the interop mode in that VSAN.
