Deleting a zone

Use the following procedure to delete a zone.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zoneDelete command, using the following syntax:

zonedelete "zonename"

3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.

The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile
memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run, the
transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other switches
to indicate that the transaction was aborted.

Example of deleting zone members

switch:admin> cfgshow

Defined configuration:

zone: matt zeus; bond; jeff; 4,8

zone: sloth bawn; bolt; bond; brain; brit; bru; 10:00:00:00:01:1e:20:20

alias: bawn 3,5

alias: bolt 10:00:00:02:1f:02:00:01

alias: bond 10:00:05:1e:a9:20:00:01; 3,5

alias: brain 11,4; 22,1; 33,6

alias: jake 4,7; 8,9; 14,11

alias: jeff 30:00:00:05:1e:a1:cd:02; 40:00:00:05:1e:a1:cd:04

alias: jones 7,3; 4,5

alias: zeus 4,7; 6,8; 9,2

Effective configuration:

No Effective configuration: (No Access)

switch:admin>

switch:admin> zonedelete sloth

switch:admin> cfgsave

WARNING!!!

The changes you are attempting to save will render the Effective configuration

and the Defined configuration inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in

different Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if a zone

merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency it is recommended to commit

the configurations using the 'cfgenable' command.

Do you still want to proceed with saving the Defined zoning configuration only?
