Fabric OS Commands zoneCreate Create a zone. Synopsis zoneCreate "zoneName", "member;member" Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Use this command to create a new zone. Note: This command requires an Advanced Zoning license. A zone name is a C-style name beginning with a letter and followed by any number of letters, digits, and underscore characters. Names are case sensitive; for example, "Zone_1" indicates a different zone than "zone_1". Blank spaces are ignored. The zone member list must have at least one member (empty lists are not allowed). The members are described by a list of member definitions separated by semicolons. Specify ports by domain and port area number. The values are entered as a pair of numbers "s,p" where "s" is the switch number (domain ID) and "p" is the port area number. For example, "2, 20" specifies port area number 20 on switch domain 2. When a zone member is specified by port area number, then all devices connected to that port are in the zone. If this port is an arbitrated loop, then all devices on the loop are in the zone. Specify a World Wide Name as eight hex numbers separated by colons, for example, "10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a." Advanced Zoning has no knowledge of the fields within a World Wide Name; the eight bytes are simply compared with the 888 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
