4. Enter the cfgShow command to verify the new zone object is present.
switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"
cfg: Test1 Blue_zone
cfg: Test_cfg Purple_zone; Blue_zone
switch:admin> cfgShow "US_Test1"
cfg: US_Test1 Blue_zone
5. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, use cfgSave to save it to nonvolatile
(flash) memory.
6. Enter cfgEnable for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change effective.
Deleting a zone object
The following procedure removes all references to a zone object and then deletes the zone object. The
zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, or a zone.
Use the following procedure to delete a zone object.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgShow command to view the zone configuration objects you want to delete.
switch:admin> cfgShow
Defined configuration:
cfg: USA_cfg Purple_zone; White_zone; Blue_zone
zone: Blue_zone
1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Purple_zone
1,0; loop1
zone: White_zone
1,3; 1,4
alias: array1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02
alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28
alias: loop1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df
Effective configuration:
cfg: USA_cfg
zone: Blue_zone
1,1
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c
21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02
1,2
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28
zone: Purple_zone
1,0
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85
21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df
3. Enter zone --expunge to delete the zone object.
NOTE
Zone configuration names are case-sensitive, blank spaces are ignored, and the zone --expunge
command works in any Admin Domain except AD255.
switch:admin> zone --expunge "White_zone"
You are about to expunge one configuration or member. This action could result in
removing many zoning configurations recursively. [Removing the last member of a
configuration removes the configuration.]
Do you want to expunge the member? (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
4. Enter yes at the prompt.
5. Enter cfgShow to verify the deleted zone object is no longer present.
6. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, use cfgSave to save it to nonvolatile
(flash) memory.
7. Enter cfgEnable for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change effective.
