Creating a zoning configuration

You can create zones, add and remove members from a zone, and delete zones. These zone

operations function the same way with iSCSI as without. To learn more about these operations, see

“About Zones” in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the zoneCreate command in the Fabric

OS Command Reference.

Creating a zoning configuration

After creating one or more zones, you can add them to the zoning configuration database and

enable the zoning configuration.

The following procedures describe how to add a zone to a zoning configuration and how to enable

the zoning confutation. For more information about creating and modifying zoning configurations,

see “About Zones” in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the zoneCreate command in the

Fabric OS Command Reference.

To create a zoning configuration

1. Connect and log in to the switch as admin.

2. Enter the cfgCreate command.

3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.

switch:admin> cfgcreate iscsi_cfg001, iscsi_zone001

switch:admin>

switch:admin> cfgsave

action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.

Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not

take effect until it is re-enabled.
