zone

n
Disables failover mode. In non-failover mode, when the last interswitch link
(ISL) of a TI Zone goes offline and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative
ISL is not used and the switch generates a state change notification (SCN) or
a registered state change notification (RSCN) to indicate that no ISL is
available. When the ISL of the TI Zone comes online again, the route is set up
again and the switch generates another SCN or RSCN. TI zones with
no-failover option are not supported in logical fabrics. TI zones defined in the
Base Fabric for logical fabric traffic need to allow failover.
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 is used and the
switch does not generate any SCN or RSCN messages. If the ISL of that TI
Zone comes online again, traffic is 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 double
quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolons, followed by a
space. When you create TI zones over FCR, for a TI within an Edge fabric use
"-1"in "I" (of "D,I") in to denote Front and Translate phantom in the E_Port list.
When creating a TI zone within the Backbone fabric specify "Port WWN" in portlist
to indicate devices talking across fabrics.
--activate name
Activates the specified TI zones. If more than one zone is specified, the list of
zone names must be enclosed in double quotation marks; zone names must be
separated by semicolons.
--deactivate name
Deactivates the specified TI zones. If more than one zone is specified, the list of
zone names must be enclosed in double quotation marks; zone names must be
separated by semicolons.
--delete name
Deletes TI zones from the defined TI zone lists. This command prompts for
confirmation.
--show [name]
Displays zone name, port lists, failover option, configured status and, the active
status for the specified zones. The configured status reflects the latest change
that may or may not have been activated. The active status reflects the state that
is activated by cfgEnable. Without any specified name, this command displays all
TI zones in the defined configuration. The following operands are optional:
-ic
Displays all TI zone configurations for a given zone name without case distinction.
-ascending
Displays the TI zone members in ascending order.
--showTIerrors
Analyzes real and potential routing problems with the activated TI zoning set and
prints a report. This command must be executed in the local domain and analyzes
only that domain.
--showTItrunkerrors
Displays details of the trunk members present in the TI zone and those not
present in the TI zone.
