Abstract
A method and apparatus for assigning zone groups to a storage enclosure is disclosed. When a storage enclosure is added to a switch in a fabric, a signature of the storage enclosure will be created from the storage devices loaded in that enclosure. The signature will then be compared against the signature from a storage enclosure that is offline. When the signature matches the signature of the offline storage enclosure, the zone groups from the offline storage enclosure will be copied to the storage enclosure that was added to the fabric.
