Keywords

add [zone] [members]

Specifies one or more ports given by [members] to add to the zone named [zone]. A zone can have a maximum of 256 members. [members] can have one of the following formats:

•Domain ID and port number pair (domain ID, port number). Domain IDs and port numbers are in decimal format. Ports are numbered beginning with 0.

•6-character hexadecimal device Fibre Channel address (hex)

•16-character hexadecimal port worldwide name (PWWN) with the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

•Alias name

The application verifies that the [zone] format is correct, but does not validate that such a port exists.

Creates a new zone named [zone_destination] and copies the membership into it from the zone given by [zone_source].

create [zone]

Creates a zone with the name given by [zone]. An zone name must begin with a letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, &, _, and -. The zoning database supports a maximum of 256 zones.

delete [zone]

Deletes the specified zone given by [zone] from the zoning database. If the zone is a member of the active zone set, the zone will not be removed from the active zone set until the active zone set is deactivated.
