2 zone Notes Operands 3. Use the --rdcreate and --rddelete options to manage Frame Redirect (RD) Zones. RD zones allow frames to be redirected to devices that can perform additional processing on these frames (for example, encryption). The feature uses a combination of RD zones and Name Server changes to map real device WWNs to Virtual PIDs. This allows redirecting a flow between a host and target to a device that can perform its functionality without reconfiguring the host and target. The RD Zone is part of the defined zone configuration and does not appear in the effective zone configuration. Use cfgSave to save the RD zone changes to the defined configuration. Use cfgShow to display the RD zones. When you create the first RD zone, two additional zone objects are created automatically: A base zone "red_______base" and a zone configuration "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg". These additional zone objects are required by the implementation. These zone objects must remain on the switch as long as other redirect zones are defined. Do not remove these objects, unless redirection is no longer required and no other redirect zones exist. Use zoneDelete to remove the base RD zone, "red_______base". Use cfgDelete to remove the RD zone configuration "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg." TI zones are not supported in fabrics involving switches running firmware versions preceding Fabric OS v6.0. However, the existence of a TI Zone in such a fabric is backward compatible and does not disrupt fabric operation in switches running earlier firmware versions. The current zone commands zoneCreate, aliCreate, cfgCreate, etc., cannot be used to manage special zones, such as TI Zones or RD zones. This command takes as an operand an action and its associated arguments. When executed without operands, the command displays the usage. --help Displays command usage. 1. Commands for performing specific zone operations: --copy Copies all the specified zone objects from the source_AD into the current AD. The current AD transaction buffer is used for this operation. The following operands are optional: source_AD. Specifies the source Admin Domain and the zone objects. If unspecified, objects are copied within the current AD. source_zone_object Specifies the zone object under the source_AD. The zone object can be a zone configuration, a zone alias, or several zones. If a source zone object is not specified, all zone configurations are copied over to the current Admin Domain. dest_zone_object Identifies the destination zone object the within the current Admin Domain. If dest_zone_object is not specified, source_zone_object is copied (with the same name). If the destination zone object is not already present in the Admin Domain, one is created (with type as source_zone_object). -f Overwrites existing zone object without confirmation. 700 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1000599-02
