Fabric OS Command Reference 103

cfgCreate

Creates a zone configuration.

SYNOPSIS cfgcreate "cfgName", "member[;member...]"

DESCRIPTION Use this command to create a new zone configuration.

This command changes the Defined Configuration (see cfgShow). For the change to become effective,

enable the configuration with the cfgEnable command. For the change to be preserved across switch

reboots, save the configuration to nonvolatile memory with the cfgSave command.

Refer to the zoneCreate command for more information on name and member specifications.

NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

details.

When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

OPERANDS The following operands are required:

"cfgName"

Specify a name for the zone configuration in double quotation marks. A zone

configuration name must begin with a letter followed by any number of letters,

numbers, and underscores. Names are case-sensitive. For example, "Cfg_1" and

"cfg_1" are different zone configurations. Blank spaces are ignored.

"member"

Specify a zone member or list of zone members to be added to the configuration.

The list must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Members must be separated

by semicolons. The zone configuration member list must have at least one

member. Empty member lists are not allowed.

EXAMPLES To create a configuration containing three zones:

switch:admin> cfgcreate "USA_cfg", \

"Purple_zone;Blue_zone;Green_zone"
