1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the zoneShow command, using the following syntax:
zoneshow[--sort] ["pattern "] [, mode
If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective
configuration) is displayed.
The following example shows all zones beginning with A, B, or C, in ascending order:
switch:admin> zoneshow --sort "[A-C]*"
zone: Blue_zone 1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Bobs_zone 4,5; 4,6; 4,7; 4,8; 4,9
Viewing zone configuration names without case distinction
Use the following procedure to view selected zone configuration names for a given pattern without case
distinction.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Use the zoneShow command to view configuration names.
zoneshow[--ic] ["pattern "] [, mode]
The following example shows all green zones using pattern search, regardless of the case:
switch:admin> zoneshow --ic GREEN*
zone: GREEN 44,4; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02; 8,9
zone: green 2,2; 2,3; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c
Examining changes in the zone database
Fabric OS allows you to check for and display any differences between the transaction buffer and the
committed database by appending the options - -transdiffs and - -transdiffsonly to the zoneShow and
cfgShow commands.
The options use the format in the following commands:
zoneShow --transdiffs
zoneShow --transdiffsonly
cfgShow --transdiffs
cfgShow --transdiffsonly
To reflect the changes made to the zone database (a new zone is added or an existing zone is deleted,
or a zone member is added or deleted or any other valid zone database entity is modified), the following
notation is used.
• An asterisk (*) at the start indicates a change in that zone, zone configuration, alias or any other
entity in the zone database.
• A plus sign (+) before any entity (an alias or a zone name or a configuration) indicates that it is a
newly added entity.
• A minus sign (-) before any entity indicates that this entity has been deleted. If zone members are
added as well as deleted in a zone configuration, then a plus sign and a minus sign (+-) will be
displayed before the member and a * sign will be displayed before the zone name.
• A plus sign (+) before any member of an alias or zone name or any other entity indicates this
member has been added, and a minus sign (-) indicates the particular member has been deleted. In
the case of TI zones, for inter-fabric links for example, "5,-1" is a valid zone member. Notice that the
minus sign (-) comes before the port index. If this was a deleted zone member, it would have been
