Zone object maintenance
11
The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones
and configurations in the Defined configuration.
cfgSave may be run to close the transaction or cfgTransAbort
may be run to cancel the transaction.
Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no]
3. Enter one of the following commands, depending on whether an effective zoning configuration
exists:
• If no effective zoning configuration exists, enter the cfgSave command.
• If an effective zoning configuration exists, enter the cfgDisable command to disable and
clear the zone configuration in nonvolatile memory for all switches in the fabric.
Zone object maintenance
The following procedures describe how to copy, delete, and rename zone objects. Depending on
the operation, a zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, a zone, or a zone configuration.
Copying a zone object
When you copy a zone object, the resulting object has the same name as the original. The zone
object can be a zone configuration, a zone alias, or 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 copy.
cfgshow "pattern"[, mode]
For example, to display all zone configuration objects that start with “Test”:
switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"
cfg: Test1 Blue_zone
cfg: Test_cfg Purple_zone; Blue_zone
3. Enter the zone --copy command, specifying the zone objects you want to copy, along with the
new object name. Note that zone configuration names are case-sensitive; blank spaces are
ignored and it works in any Admin Domain other than AD255.
switch:admin> zone --copy Test1 US_Test1
4. Enter the cfgShow command to verify the new zone object is present.
switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"
cfg: Test1 Blue_zone
cfg: Test_cfg Purple_zone; Blue_zone
switch:admin> cfgShow "US_Test1"
cfg: US_Test1
Blue_zone
5. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, enter the cfgSave command to
save it to nonvolatile (flash) memory.
6. Enter the cfgEnable command for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change
effective.
