effective, you must enable an appropriate zone configuration using the cfgEnable command.
For the change to be preserved across MP Router reboots, save it to nonvolatile memory using the
cfgSave command.
Operands
The following operands are required:
zoneCreate
“zoneName“ A unique name for a zone, in quotation marks. A zone name begins
with a letter followed by any number of letters, digits, and underscore
characters. Names are case sensitive; for example, “Zone_1” and
zone_1 are different zones. Spaces are ignored.
“zoneMemberList“ A semicolon-separated list of one or more World Wide Names,
domain,port pairs, zone alias names, and iSCSI qualified names
(IQNs), in quotation marks. Requirements for the zoneMemberList
are as follows:
• World wide names—These names must be specified as eight
hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example,
10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a. Zoning has no knowledge of the fields
within a WWN; the 8 bytes are simply compared with the node
and port names presented by a device in a login frame (FLOGI or
PLOGI). When a zone member is specified by node name, then all
ports on that device are in the zone; when a zone member is
specified by port name, only that single device port is in the zone.
• Domain,port pairs—Physical fabric port numbers can be specified
as a pair of decimal numbers d,p where d is the MP Router number
(domain ID) and p is the port number on that MP Router. For
example, 6,10 specifies port 10 on MP Router 6. When an alias
member is specified by physical fabric port number, all devices
connected to that port are in the zone. No spaces are allowed.
