Modifying TI zones
Using the zone --add command, you can add ports to an existing TI zone, change the failover
option, or both.
Using the zone
--remove command, you can remove ports from existing TI zones. If you remove the
last member of a TI zone, the TI zone is deleted.
After you modify the TI zone, you must enable the current effective configuration to enforce the
changes.
ATTENTION
If failover is disabled, do not allocate all ISLs in TI zones. Make sure sufficient non-dedicated paths
exist through the fabric for all devices that are not in a TI zone. See “TI zone failover” on page 403
for additional information about disabling failover mode.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the zone
--add command to add ports or change the failover option for an existing TI
zone. Enter the zone
--remove command to remove ports from an existing TI zone.
zone --add [-o optlist] name -p "portlist"
zone --add -o optlist name [-p "portlist"]
zone --remove name -p "portlist"
Be aware of the ramifications if you disable failover mode. See “TI zone failover” on page 403
for information about disabling failover mode.
3. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.

Example of modifying a TI zone
To add port members to the existing TI zone bluezone:
switch:admin> zone --add bluezone -p "3,4; 3,6"
To add port members to the existing TI zone in a backbone fabric:
switch:admin> zone --add backbonezone -p "3,4; 3,6; 10:00:00:04:1f:03:16:f2;"
To disable failover on the existing TI zone bluezone:
switch:admin> zone --add -o n bluezone
To enable failover and add ports to TI zone greenzone:
switch:admin> zone --add -o f greenzone -p "3,4"
To remove ports from the TI zone bluezone:
switch:admin> zone --remove bluezone -p "3,4; 3,6"
Remember that your changes are not enforced until you enter the cfgEnable command.
