2 zone dest_zone_object Identifies the destination zone object within the current Admin Domain. If dest_zone_object is not specified, source_zone_object is copied over 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. --expunge "zone_object" Removes all references to the specified zone object and then deletes the zone object. The command displays the list of zone objects to be deleted and prompts for confirmation before deleting the zone objects. The removal of zone object references can trigger the removal of zones not specified in the command. For example, removing the last zone member from a zone deletes the zone, and may trigger a recursive deletion of other zones. The following operand is required: Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, zone alias, or a zone. The zone object must be enclosed in double quotation marks. --validate Lists all zone members that are not part of the current zone enforcement table. If a zone member is specified by Domain and Port (D,P) in the Admin Domain membership list, all zone elements specified with WWNs associated with that D,P are considered for zone enforcement. If a device WWN is specified in the Admin Domain member list, the corresponding D,P (the device the specified WWN is associated with) is not considered for zone enforcement. The following operands are optional: -f mode Specifies that zone members that are not enforceable should be expunged in the transaction buffer. This pruning operation affects both the transaction buffer and the defined buffer. You cannot specify a mode or a zone object together with the -f option. Specifies the zone database location. Supported mode flag values are: 0 Uses the zone database from the current transaction buffer. 1 Uses the zone database stored in persistent storage. 2 Uses the currently enforced zone database. "zone_object" If no mode option is specified, the validated output of all the three buffers is displayed. Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, or a zone. 2. Creating and managing TI Zones Use these commands to create and manage TI Zones. --create Creates a TI Zone with specified options and portlist. --add Adds port list members and the failover option to existing TI zones. --remove Removes port list members from existing zones. Removal of the last member from an active TI zone generates a warning. If the last member of a TI zone is removed, the TI zone name is removed from the defined TI zone list. 922 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
