Adding devices (members) to a zone
ATTENTION
The zoneAdd command will add
all
zone member aliases that match the "
aliasname_pattern
" in the zone database to the
specified zone.
Use the following procedure to add members to a zone:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zoneAdd command, using either of the following syntaxes:
zoneadd "zonename", "member [; member...]"
zoneadd "zonename ", "aliasname_pattern* [;members ]"
NOTE
The zoneAdd command supports partial pattern matching ("wildcards") of zone member aliases. This allows you to
add multiple aliases that match the "
aliasname_pattern
" in the command line.
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile memory. If a transaction is open
on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run, the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A
message displays on the other switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
4. Enter the cfgShow command to view the changes.
Example for adding members to a zone
switch:admin> zoneadd matt, "ze*; bond*; j*"
switch:admin> cfgsave
switch:admin> cfgshow
