Zoning configurations
11
Adding zones (members) to a zoning configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the cfgAdd command, using the following syntax:
cfgadd "cfgname", "member[; member...]"
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> cfgadd "newcfg", "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
Removing zones (members) from a zone configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the cfgRemove command, using the following syntax:
cfgremove "cfgname", "member[; member...]"
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> cfgremove "NEW_cfg", "purplezone"
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.

Enabling a zone configuration
The following procedure 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
procedure 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.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the cfgenable command, using the following syntax:
