zone

policy restartable | nonrestartable
Specifies the policy as either restartable or nonrestartable. A restartable
policy causes traffic flow to revert to the physical host/target configuration in
the event the virtual device should fail. When policy is specified as
nonrestricted and one of the virtual devices goes offline, the physical devices
are considered as offline and no traffic is allowed between the original host
and target.
support_FCR FCR | nonFCR
Indicates whether or not this RD zone is to function across a Fibre Channel
router (FCR). Specify FCR to support FCR. Specify nonFCR if you do not wish to
support FCR.
--rddelete Deletes the RD Zone specified by name. RD Zones are unique in that the zone
name is not user-defined. It is derived based on members and the specified
configuration. Use cdfgShow to display currently implemented RD zone by
name.
Examples 1. Specific zone operation commands:
The following example shows a scenario of an invalid configuration. If you attempt to create a zone
z10 with an alias a10, then create a zone with name a10, z10 expects a10 to be an alias and
results in an invalid configuration.
To validate all zones in the currently enforced zone database:
switch:admin>zonecreate z10,a10
switch:admin>zonecreate a10, 1,2
switch:admin> zone --validate
Defined configuration:
zone: a10 1,2*
zone: z10 a10~
Effective configuration:
No Effective configuration: (No Access)
------------------------------------
~ - Invalid configuration
* - Member does not exist
# - Invalid usage of broadcast zone
The reason for not being in the current enforcement table could be one of the following:
• The device is not online.
• The device is online but is not Admin Domain-aware.
• The device is online but it is not part of the current Admin Domain.
To copy cur_cfg1 zone configuration from the root zone database (AD0) to the current Admin
Domain:
switch:admin> zone --copy AD0.cur_cfg1
To copy backup_zn zone from the root zone database (AD0) to the current Admin Domain:
switch:admin> zone --copy AD0.backup_zn
