Zoneset Command

Zoneset Command

Manages zone sets and zone set membership across the fabric.

Authority Admin authority within a Zoning Edit session. Refer to the ”Zoning Command” on page B-75for information about starting a Zoning Edit session. The Active, List, and Zones keywords are available with User authority. You must close the Zoning Edit session before using the Activate and Deactivate keywords.

Syntax zoneset

activate [zone_set] active

add [zone_set] [zone_list]

copy [zone_set_source] [zone_set_destination] create [zone_set]

deactivate

delete [zone_set] list

remove [zone_set] [zone_list]

rename [zone_set_old] [zone_set_new] zones [zone_set]

Keywords activate [zone_set]

Activates the zone set given by [zone_set]. This keyword deactivates the active zone set. Close the Zoning Edit session before using this keyword.

active

Displays the name of the active zone set. This keyword is available with User authority and does not require a Zoning Edit session.

add [zone_set] [zone_list]

Adds a list of zones and aliases given by [zone_list] to the zone set given by [zone_set]. Zone and alias names are delimited by spaces in [zone_list]. This keyword requires a Zoning Edit session.

copy [zone_set_source] [zone_set_destination]

Creates a new zone set named [zone_set_destination] and copies into it the membership from the zone set given by [zone_set_source]. This keyword requires a Zoning Edit session.

create [zone_set]

Creates the zone set with the name given by [zone_set]. A zone set name must begin with a letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, &, _, and -. This keyword requires a Zoning Edit session. The zoning database supports a maximum of 256 zone sets.

deactivate

Deactivates the active zone set. Close the Zoning Edit session before using this keyword.
