2 zone source_AD. Specifies the source Admin Domain and the zone objects. If unspecified, objects will be copied within the current AD. source_zone_object Specifies the zone object under the source_AD. The zone object can be a zone configuration, a zone alias, or several zones. If a source zone object is not specified, the all zone configurations will be copied over to the current Admin Domain. dest_zone_object Identifies the destination zone object the within the current Admin Domain. If dest_zone_object is not specified, source_zone_object is copied (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 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 you before deleting. The removal of the zone object could result in other zone object removal, triggering a recursive deletion. For example, removing the last zone member from a zone results in the zone deletion. The following operand is required: zone_object Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, zone alias or a zone. The zone object must be enclosed in quotation marks. --validate Lists all zone members that are not part of the current zone enforcement table. If a zone member is specified using 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 WWN is not considered for zone enforcement. The zone database used as input to this command is specified using mode. If the optional zone object name is specified, the validation is completed on that zone object alone; otherwise, all zones in the zone database are validated. The following operands are optional: -f Specifies that all the zone members which are not enforceable should be expunged in the transaction buffer. This pruning operation would always happen on transaction and defined buffer. User can not specify a mode option or specify a zone object as an argument with B option. zone_object Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, zone alias or a zone. mode 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 the persistent storage. 2 Uses the currently enforced zone database. 680 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1000599-01
