Zone creation and maintenance

• A minus sign (–) before any entity indicates that this entity has been deleted. If zone members
are added as well as deleted in a zone configuration, then a plus sign and a minus sign (+-) will
be displayed before the member and a * sign will be displayed before the zone name.
• A plus sign (+) before any member of an alias or zone name or any other entity indicates this
member has been added, and a minus sign (–) indicates the particular member has been deleted.
In the case of TI zones, for inter-fabric links for example, “5,-1” is a valid zone member.
Notice that the minus sign (-) comes before the port index. If this was a deleted zone member, it
would have been shown as "5,-1". A minus sign (-) before a domain ID indicates that this TI zone
member has been deleted.
