zoneObjectCopy

Copies a zone object.

Synopsis zoneObjectCopy "objectName", "newName"

Description Use this command to copy a zone object to a new zone object. The resulting object has the same type as

the original object. You can use this command for all zone object types, including cfg, zone, and alias.

A zone configuration name must begin with a letter that can be followed by any number of letters,

numbers, and underscores. Names are case sensitive; for example, "Cfg_1" and "cfg_1" are different

zone configurations. Spaces are ignored.

This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch reboots,

it must be saved to nonvolatile memory using the cfgSave command. For the change to become effective,

an appropriate zone configuration must be enabled using the cfgEnable command.

Refer to the zoneCreate command for more information on name and member specifications.
