“zone_object” Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, or
a zone.
2. Commands for creating and managing TI Zones
Use these commands to create and manage TI Zones.
--create | --add | --remove
Creates a TI Zone with specified options and portlist, or adds portlist
members and failover option to existing TI zone[s].
The remove option removes portlist member[s] from existing zone[s].
Removal of last member from an active TI zone will generate a warning
prompt. If the last member of TI zone is removed, TI zone name will be
removed from defined TI zone lists.
The following operands are supported:
objecttype Specifies the zone object type. This operand is supported only with the
--create option. To create a TI zone, the value is ti.
optlist Specifies list of options to control failover mode. If this option is not specified
the zone is created, by default, with failover enabled and the zone will be
activated. This operand is supported only with the --create and --add
options.
Valid Values for optlist are:
a Activates the specified zone.
d Deactivates the specified zone.
n Disables failover mode. In non-failover mode, when the last ISL of a TI Zone
goes OFFLINE and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative ISL will not be
used and the switch will generate SCN/RSCN to indicate that no ISL is
available. When the ISL of the TI Zone comes ONLINE again, the route will be
setup again and the switch will generate another SCN/RSCN.
f Enables failover mode. In failover mode, when the last ISL of a TI Zone goes
OFFLINE and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative ISL will be used and
the switch will NOT generate any SCN/RSCN. If the ISL of that TI Zone comes
ONLINE again, traffic will be rerouted immediately to the original ISL.
name Specifies the name of the zone to be created, added or deleted.
-p portlist Specifies the lists of ports to be included, added or removed from a TI zone.
The syntax for portlist is "D,I" (Domain, Index). The port list must be enclosed
in quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolon, followed
by a space. Example: -p "1,8; 2,6".
--activate | --deactivate name
Activates or deactivates TI zone[s]. If more than one zone is specified, the list
of zone names must be separated by semi colon and enclosed in double
quotation marks.
--delete name Deletes TI zones from the defined TI zone lists. Users will be prompted to
confirm the deletion.
