zone copy

To copy the active zoneset to the full zoneset, use the zone copy command.

zone copy active -zoneset full-zoneset [vsan integer]

Syntax Description

active-zoneset	The zone name of the active zoneset.
full-zoneset	The zone name of the full zoneset.
vsan	Indicates that the active-zoneset.
integer	The id of the VSAN (1-4096).

Defaults

None

Command Modes

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

None.

Examples

switch# zone copy test1 test2  in default vsan only (vsan1)

switch#

zone default-zone

To define whether a default zone (nodes not assigned a created zone) will permit or deny access to all in the default zone, use the zone default-zone command. Use the no form of this command to deny.

zone default-zone permit vsan number

Syntax Description

zone	Zone configuration command.
default-zone	Define default zoning behavior.
permit	Default permit.
vsan	Defines default zoning behavior for the specified VSAN.
number	The ID of the VSAN (1-4096).

Defaults

permit

Usage Guidelines

None

Examples

switch# config t

switch(config)# zone ?

  default-zone  Defines default zoning behavior

  name          Configure a zone

switch(config)# zone default-zone ?

  permit  Default permit

switch(config)# zone default-zone permit ?

  vsan  Defines default zoning behavior for the specified VSAN

switch(config)# zone default-zone permit vsan ?

  <1-4093>  VSAN id range

switch(config)# zone default-zone permit vsan 2 ?

  <cr>  Carriage Return

zone merge

To merge zone server databases, use the zone merge command. This command can be used to recover from link isolation due to zone merge failure

zone merge interface [fc | port-channel] integer {import | export} vsan vsan int range

Syntax Description

interface	The name of the interface.
fc integer	A Fibre Channel interface. The integer is the slot number.
port-channel integer	A Port Channel interface. The integer is the Port Channel number.
export	Exports the zone server database to the adjacent switch on the specified interface. The active zoneset in this switch becomes the activated zoneset of the merged SAN.
import	Imports the zone server database to the adjacent switch on the specified interface. The active zoneset in the adjacent switch becomes the activated zoneset of the merged SAN.
vsan	Merges the zone server database of a VSAN on the specified interface.
vsan int range	The id of the VSAN (1-4096).

Defaults

None

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

None.

Examples

switch# zone merge interface port-channel 3 export vsan 3

zone name

To create a zone, use the zone name command.

zone name name vsan number [ exit ] [ member fcalias name | fcid value | fwwn value | pwwn value ] [ no ]

Syntax Description

zone	Zone configuration command.
name	Configuration zone.
name	Enter the name of zone (Max Size - 64).
vsan	Configure a zone on a VSAN.
number	The ID of the VSAN (1-4096).
exit	Exit from this submode
member	Add a member to zone
fcalias	Add fcalias to zone
name	Enter the name of fcalias (Max Size - 64)
fcid	Add FCID member to zone
fwwn	Add Fabric Port WWN member to zone
pwwn	Add Port WWN member to zone
no	Negate a command or set its defaults

Defaults

None

Command Modes

Configuration

Usage Guidelines

Zones are assigned to Zoneset, Zoneset are then activated from one switch and propagates across fabric to all switches. Zones allow security by permitting and denying access between nodes (hosts and storage). zone name commands are issued from the config t mode. Configure a zone for a VSAN from the config-zone sub mode.

Examples

switch# config t

switch(config)# zone name ?

  <WORD>  Enter the name of zone (Max Size - 64)

switch(config)# zone name Somename ?

  vsan  Configure a zone on a VSAN

switch(config)# zone name Somename vsan ?

  <1-4093>  VSAN id

switch(config)# zone name somename vsan 1

switch(config-zone)# ?

Configure a zone for a VSAN:

  exit    Exit from this submode

  member  Add a member to zone

  no      Negate a command or set its defaults

switch(config-zone)# ?

Configure a zone for a VSAN:

  exit    Exit from this submode

  member  Add a member to zone

  no      Negate a command or set its defaults

switch(config-zone)# member ?

  fcalias  Add fcalias to zone

  fcid     Add FCID member to zone

  fwwn     Add Fabric Port WWN member to zone

  pwwn     Add Port WWN member to zone

switch(config-zone)# member fcalias ?

  <WORD>  Enter the name of fcalias (Max Size - 64)

switch(config-zone)# member fcalias aabb ?

  <cr>  Carriage Return

switch(config-zone)# member fcalias aabb

Alias not present

switch(config-zone)# member fcid ?

  <0xhhhhhh>  Enter FCID

switch(config-zone)# member fwwn ?

  <hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh>  Enter Fabric Port WWN

switch(config-zone)# member pwwn ?

  <hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh>  Enter Port WWN

switch(config-zone)# member pwwn

zoneset

To group zones under one zoneset, use the zoneset command.

zoneset [ activate name name vsan number ] [distribute full vsan vsan-id][ name string vsan vsan-id]

Syntax Description

zoneset	Zoneset configuration command.
activate	Activate a zoneset
name	Zoneset name.
name	Enter name for zoneset.
