Creating and maintaining zones Reliable Commit Service (RCS) is a fabric-wide capability and is supported only if all switches in the fabric are running Fabric OS 4.1 and later. RCS guarantees that either all or none of the switches receive the new zone configuration. You should use RCS to secure a reliable propagation of the latest zone configuration. If you use non-RCS mode, you must log in to every switch to monitor the status of the zone configuration. To create a broadcast zone, use the reserved name broadcast. Do not give a regular zone the name of broadcast. See "Broadcast zones" on page 204 for additional information. To create a zone: 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Issue the zoneCreate command with the following syntax: zonecreate "zonename", "member[; member...]" where: zonename member The name of the zone to be created. A member or list of members to be added to the zone. A zone member can be specified by one or more of the following methods: • A domain,port pair. • Device node or device port WWN • Zone alias name To create a broadcast zone, use the reserved name broadcast. 3. Issue the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration. switch:admin> zonecreate "greenzone", "2,32; 2,33; 2,34; 4,4" switch:admin> zonecreate "redzone", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:66:23; 4,3" switch:admin> zonecreate "broadcast", "1,2; 2,33; 2,34" switch:admin> cfgsave You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration.
