You are about to allocate storage to a host that includes adding new paths, devices, and zones to the configuration. What must be done prior to making any changes to the configuration? (Choose two.)

Creating new zones is part of the change process, not a prerequisite action done prior to making any changes.

Activating change tracking is a feature for auditing or monitoring changes, not a mandatory preparatory step before making configuration changes.

Activating the new zone set occurs after the changes (like creating new zones) have been made and verified, not prior to making any changes.

Backing up the configuration is a critical best practice before any significant changes, allowing for restoration if problems occur during or after the modification.

Copying the active zone set, typically to a temporary or pending zone set, allows for modifications to be made and tested without immediately impacting the live production environment.
