zoneObjectExpunge

Expunges a zone object.

SYNOPSIS zoneObjectExpunge "objectName"

DESCRIPTION Use this command to expunge a zone object. In addition to deleting the object, this command also

removes the object from the member lists of all other objects. After successful execution of this

command, the specified object no longer exists the database. You can use this command for all zone

object types, including cfg, zone, and alias.

This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch

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

become effective, enable the configuration with the cfgEnable command.

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

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.

OPERANDS This command has the following operand:

"objectName"

The name of the object that you want to expunge. Quotation marks are optional.
