appiqcreate -zoneset <zoneset name>
-fabric <fabric id> -zone <zone id>
where
• <zoneset name> is the name of the zone set. To verify you have a unique name for the zone
set in the fabric, enter the appiqlist -fabric <fabric id> -zoneset command.
• <fabric id> is the fabric identifier. The fabric identifier can be obtained from several
methods, such as from the appiqlist -fabric -all command.
• <zone id> is the zone identifier. The zone identifier can be obtained from several methods,
such as from the appiqlist -fabric <fabric id> -zone command.
Description: Creates a zone set with the name specified by <zoneset name> in the fabric
specified by <fabric id>. The zone set contains the zone identified by <zone id>. This
command is for switches that do not use virtual storage area networks (VSANs). Use the
appiqcreate -zoneset <VSAN1>:<switch1>:<zoneset> -fabric <fabric id>
-zone <zone id> command for switches that use VSANs.
Naming Conventions for Brocade Switches:
• The name must contain 1 to 64 characters.
• The name must begin with a letter. Any character other than the first character can be a letter, a
number (0 to 9), or an underscore (_).
• The name is case sensitive. For example, "ZoneSet1" and "zoneset1" are different zone sets.
• You cannot create a zone set with the same name as an existing zone, zone alias or zone set.
For example, if you create a zone set named “new”, you cannot give a zone, zone alias, or
zone set the same name.
• The following characters are invalid for Brocade switches: caret (^), dash (-), and dollar sign
($).
Naming Conventions for McDATA and Connectrix Switches:
• The name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
• The first character of a zone set name must be a letter (A-Z, AZ).
• A zone set name cannot contain spaces.
• Valid characters are a-a, AA, 0-9, caret (^), dash ( -), underscore ( _), and dollar sign ($).
• All names must be unique and may not differ by case. For example, myzoneset and MyZoneSet
are both valid individually, but the are not considered to be unique.
appiqdelete -zoneset <zoneset id>
where <zoneset id> is the zone set identifier. The zone set identifier can be obtained from
several methods, such as from the appiqlist -fabric <fabric id> -zoneset command.
Description: Deletes the zone set specified by <zoneset id>.
