Valid options for --validate are: Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, zone alias or a zone.

Valid mode flag values: 0 Uses the zone database from the current transaction buffer. 1 Uses the zone database stored in the persistent storage. 2 Uses the currently enforced zone database. This is the assumed default mode flag value if no mode flag is specified. Examples The following example shows a scenario of an invalid configuration. If you attempt to create a zone z10 with an alias a10, then create a zone with name a10, z10 expects a10 to be an alias and results in an invalid configuration. To validate all zones in the currently enforced zone database: switch:admin>zonecreate z10,a10 switch:admin>zonecreate a10, 1,2 switch:admin> zone --validate Defined configuration: zone: a10 1,2* zone: z10 a10~ Effective configuration: No Effective configuration: (No Access Invalid configuration * - Member does not exist # - Invalid usage of broadcast zone The reason for not being in the current enforcement table could be one of the following: The device is not online. The device is online but is not Admin Domain-aware. The device is online but it is not part of the current Admin Domain. To copy all zone configurations from the root zone database (AD0) to the current Admin Domain: switch:admin> zone --copy AD0 To copy cur_cfg1 zone configuration from the root zone database (AD0) to the current Admin Domain: switch:admin> zone --copy AD0.cur_cfg1 To copy backup_zn zone from the root zone database (AD0) to the current Admin Domain: switch:admin> zone --copy AD0.backup_zn 730 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual 53-1000436-01
