A zone set is a named group of zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set. Each switch in the fabric maintains its own zoning database containing one or more zone sets. This zoning database HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Enterprise Fabric Management Suite User Guide...
Page 50: Zoning Database
resides in non-volatile or permanent memory and is therefore retained after a reset. Zones that are currently not in a zone set are considered to be part of the orphan zone set. The orphan zone set is not an actual zone set, but rather a way of displaying the zones that are not currently in a zone set.
