zone 2 TI zones over FCR is supported only on switches running Fabric OS v6.1.0 or later. Participating devices must be LSAN-zoned to enforce TI. Using TI zones in logical fabrics has several restrictions. For more information, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. 3. Use the --rdcreate and --rddelete options to manage Frame Redirect (RD) Zones. RD zones allow frames to be redirected to devices that can perform additional processing on these frames (for example, encryption). The feature uses a combination of RD zones and Name Server changes to map real device world wide names (WWNs) to virtual port IDs (PIDs.) This allows redirecting a flow between a host and target to a device that can perform its functionality without reconfiguring the host and target. The RD Zone is part of the defined zone configuration and does not appear in the effective zone configuration. Use cfgSave to save the RD zone changes to the defined configuration. Use cfgShow to display the RD zones. When you create the first RD zone, two additional zone objects are created automatically: A base zone "red_______base" and a zone configuration "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg". These additional zone objects are required by the implementation. These zone objects must remain on the switch as long as other redirect zones are defined. Do not remove these objects, unless redirection is no longer required and no other redirect zones exist. Use zone --rddelete to remove the base RD zone, "red_______base". When the base zone is removed, the RD zone configuration "r_e_d_i_r_c__fg" is removed as well Notes TI zones are not supported in fabrics involving switches running firmware versions preceding Fabric OS v6.0. However, the existence of a TI Zone in such a fabric is backward compatible and does not disrupt fabric operation in switches running earlier firmware versions. The current zone commands, zoneCreate, aliCreate, cfgCreate, etc., cannot be used to manage special zones, such as TI Zones or RD zones. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Operands This command takes as an operand an action and its associated arguments. When executed without operands, the command displays the usage. --help Displays the command usage. 1. Commands for performing specific zone operations: --copy Copies a specified zone object or all zone objects from the source_AD into the current AD. The current AD transaction buffer is used for this operation. The following operands are optional: source_AD. Specifies the source Admin Domain of the zone objects. If unspecified, objects are 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, all zone configurations are copied over to the current Admin Domain.
