2 zone 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. dest_zone_object Identifies the destination zone object within the current Admin Domain. If dest_zone_object is not specified, source_zone_object is copied over 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 for confirmation before deleting the zone objects. The removal of zone object references can trigger the removal of zones not specified in the command. For example, removing the last zone member from a zone deletes the zone, and may trigger a recursive deletion of other zones. 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 double quotation marks. --validate Lists all zone members that are not part of the current zone enforcement table. If a zone member is specified by Domain and Port (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 the specified WWN is associated with) is not considered for zone enforcement. The following operands are optional: -f Specifies that zone members that are not enforceable should be expunged in the transaction buffer. This pruning operation affects both the transaction buffer and the defined buffer. You cannot specify a mode or a zone object together with the -f option. 1098 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1002746-01
