Zone creation and maintenance

3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to both volatile
and nonvolatile memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this
command is run, the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message
displays on the other switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
Example
switch:admin> zonedelete "bluezone"
switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on the Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled.
Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Viewing a zone in the defined configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the zoneShow command, using the following syntax:
zoneshow ["pattern"] [, mode]
If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective
configuration) is displayed.
Example
The following example shows all zones beginning with A, B, or C:
switch:admin> zoneshow "[A-C]*"
zone: Blue_zone 1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Bobs_zone 4,5; 4,6; 4,7; 4,8; 4,9
Validating a zone
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the cfgShow command to view the zone configuration objects you want to validate.
switch:admin> cfgShow
Defined configuration:
cfg: USA_cfg Purple_zone; White_zone; Blue_zone
zone: Blue_zone
1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Purple_zone
1,0; loop1
zone: White_zone
1,3; 1,4
alias: array1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02
alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28
alias: loop1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df
3. Enter the zone --validate command to list all zone members that are not part of the current
zone enforcement table. Note that zone configuration names are case-sensitive; blank spaces
are ignored.
switch:admin> zone --validate "White_zone"
