defZone
defZone
Sets or displays the default zone access mode.
Synopsis defzone [--noaccess | --allaccess | --show]
Description Use this command to display or set the Default Zone access mode. Setting the Default Zone mode initializes a
zoning transaction (if one is not already in progress), and create reserved zoning objects.
A default zone controls device access when zoning is not enabled. When a user-specified zoning configuration is
not enabled, Default Zone is in effect, allowing access to all devices. When a user-specified zone configuration is
enabled, it overrides the Default Zone access mode.
Notes This command must be issued from the primary FCS switch.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric
OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
Zone object names beginning with the d_efault_ prefix are reserved for default zoning use. Editing of these objects
is not permitted. Therefore, cfgShow does not display the names of these objects.
If d_efault_Cfg is the effective zone configuration, both cfgShow and cfgActvShow do not display d_efault_Cfg
as the effective zone configuration.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--noaccess
Sets the default zone access mode to No Access, initializes a zoning transaction (if one is
not already in progress), and creates the reserved zoning objects equivalent to the following
zoning commands:
• cfgCreate "d_efault_Cfg","d_efault_Zone"
• zoneCreate "d_efault_Zone","00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01"
A cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command must be issued after issuing this command
to commit the changes and distribute them to the fabric; for example:
• defzone --noaccess
• cfgsave
An audit log record is generated for each execution of this command.
