Zone object maintenance

Run cfgSave to commit the transaction or cfgTransAbort to cancel the transaction.
Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no]
3. Enter one of the following commands, depending on whether an effective zone configuration
exists:
• If no effective zone configuration exists, use the cfgSave command.
• If an effective zone configuration exists, use the cfgDisable command to disable and clear
the zone configuration in nonvolatile memory for all switches in the fabric.
Zone object maintenance
The following procedures describe how to copy, delete, and rename zone objects. Depending on
the operation, a zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, a zone, or a zone configuration.
Copying a zone object
When you copy a zone object, the resulting object has the same name as the original. The zone
object can be a zone configuration, a zone alias, or a zone.
Use the following procedure to copy 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 copy.
cfgshow "pattern"[, mode]
For example, to display all zone configuration objects that start with “Test”:
switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"
cfg: Test1 Blue_zone
cfg: Test_cfg Purple_zone; Blue_zone
3. Enter zone --copy specifying the zone objects you want to copy along with the new object
name.
NOTE
Zone configuration names are case-sensitive, blank spaces are ignored, and the zone --copy
command works in any Admin Domain except AD255.
switch:admin> zone --copy Test1 US_Test1
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.
