Creates a Fabric Assist (FA) zone.
Synopsis
fazonecreate “fazoneName“,“fazoneMemberList“
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to create a new FA zone, fazoneName, which must be unique among all other zone
objects. fazoneMemberList is a semicolon-separated list of one or more WWNs, domain,port pairs,
FA zone alias names, or it can be exactly one FA host member.
A FA zone name is a C-language-style name. It must begin with a letter and be followed by any number of
letters, digits, and underscore characters. Names are case sensitive; for example, Fazone_1 and fazone_1
are different Fabric Assist zones. Spaces are ignored.
The FA zone member list must have at least one member. Empty lists are not allowed.
When a FA zone member is specified by physical fabric port number, any and all devices connected to
that port are in the FA zone.
WWNs are 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 FA zone member is specified by node name, then all ports on that device are in the FA zone.
When a FA zone member is specified by port name, only that single device port is in the FA zone. Zone
alias names have the same format as FA zone names and are created with the aliCreate command.
The alias must resolve to a list of one or more physical fabric port numbers, or WWNs, or to a FA host.
A FA host member is defined by wrapping the physical fabric port or a physical device (a WWN)
between “H{and }”. For example, “H{5,6}” and “H{10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a}” are FA hosts. The type
of FA zone members used to define a FA zone may be mixed and matched. For example, a FA zone
defined with the members 2,12; 2,14; 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a would contain devices connected to
MP Router 2, ports 12 and 14, and the device with a WWN of 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a (either node
name or port name—whichever port in the fabric it is connected to.)
NOTE: This command changes the defined configuration (see cfgShow). For the change to become
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.
