Adding zones to a zone configuration

Use the following procedure to add members to a zone configuration.

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

cfgadd "cfgname ", "member [; member ...]"

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.

switch:admin> cfgadd "newcfg", "bluezone"

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?

(yes, y, no, n): [no] y

Removing members from a zone configuration

Use the following procedure to remove members from a zone configuration.

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

cfgremove "cfgname ", "member [; member ...]"

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

Example

switch:admin> cfgremove "NEW_cfg", "purplezone"
