2 Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability. fazoneCreate fazoneCreate Creates a Fabric Assist (FA) zone. Synopsis fazonecreate "fazoneName","member; member ..." Description Use this command to create a new Fabric Assist zone. You must specify a name and member list. The FA zone name must be unique among all Fabric Assist zone objects. The member list must be enclosed in quotation marks. Members must be separated by semicolons. A Fabric Assist zone name is in C language style. It must begin with a letter and be followed by any number of letters, digits, and underscore characters. Names are case sensitive; for example, "Fazone_1" and "fazone_1" are different Fabric Assist zones. Spaces are ignored. The Fabric Assist zone member list must have at least one FA host and at least one target member. Empty lists are not allowed. When a Fabric Assist zone member is specified by physical fabric port number, then all devices connected to that port are in the Fabric Assist zone. If this port is an arbitrated loop, then all devices on the loop are in the Fabric Assist zone. WWNs are specified as eight hex numbers separated by colons, for example, "10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a". Zoning has no knowledge of the fields within a WWN; the eight bytes are simply compared with the node and port names presented by a device in a login frame (FLOGI or PLOGI). When a Fabric Assist zone member is specified by node name, then all ports on that device are in the Fabric Assist zone. When a Fabric Assist zone member is specified by port name, only that single device port is in the Fabric Assist zone. Zone alias names have the same format as Fabric Assist zone names and are created with the aliCreate command. The alias must resolve to a list of one or more physical fabric port numbers, WWNs, or a Fabric Assist host. A Fabric Assist host member is defined by wrapping the physical fabric port or a physical device (a WWN) between "H{" and "}". For example, "H{5,6}" or "H{10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a}" is a Fabric Assist host. The type of Fabric Assist zone members used to define a Fabric Assist zone might be mixed and matched. For example, a Fabric Assist zone defined with the following members "2,12; 2,14; 10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a" would contain devices connected to switch 2, ports 12 and 14, and the device with a WWN of "10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a" (either node name or port name: whichever port in the fabric it is connected to.) This command does not change the defined configuration (which you can view using the cfgShow command). For the change to become effective, it must be enabled using the cfgEnable command. For the change to be preserved across switch reboots, it must be saved to nonvolatile memory using the cfgSave command. Note When security is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch. 2-172 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual Publication Number: 53-1000240-01
