Chapter 27 Z Commands zonename (iSLB initiator configuration) Send documentation comments to [email protected] zonename (iSLB initiator configuration) To assign a zone name for the initiator, use the zonename command in iSLB initiator configuration submode. To remove the zone name for the initiator, use the no form of the command. zonename name no zonename name Syntax Description zonename name Assigns the zone name for the initiator. The maximum size is 55. Defaults Automatically generated. Command Modes iSCSI initiator configuration submode. Command History Release 3.0(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines You can configure a zone name where the iSLB initiators and initiator targets are added. If you do not specify a zone name, the IPS manager creates one dynamically. iSLB zone sets have the following considerations: • Auto-zoning of the initiator with the initiator targets is enabled by default. • A zone set must be active for a VSAN for auto-zones to be created in that VSAN. The zoneset activate command creates auto-zones only if at least one other change has been made to the zone set. • iSLB zone set activation might fail if another zone set activation is in process or if the zoning database is locked. Retry the iSLB zone set activation if a failure occurs. To avoid this problem, only perform only one zoning related operation (normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB zones) at a time. • If IVR and iSLB are enabled in the same fabric, at least one switch in the fabric must have both features enabled. Any zoning related configuration or activation operation (for normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB zones) must be performed on this switch. Otherwise, traffic might be disrupted in the fabric. Examples The following example assigns the zone name for the iSLB initiator. switch# config t switch(config)# islb initiator ip-address 100.10.10.10 ips-hac2(config-iscsi-islb-init)# zonename ? Enter zone name ips-hac2(config-islb-init)# zonename testzone1 The following example removes the zone name and reverts to the default zone name for the iSLB initiator. switch (config-islb-init)# no zonename testzone1 OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference 27-21
