Zone object maintenance 11 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. Deleting a zone object The following procedure removes all references to a zone object and then deletes the zone object. The zone object can be a zone member, 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 delete. switch:admin> cfgShow Defined configuration: cfg: USA_cfg Purple_zone; White_zone; Blue_zone zone: Blue_zone 1,1; array1; 1,2; array2 zone: Purple_zone 1,0; loop1 zone: White_zone 1,3; 1,4 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 259 53-1001763-01
