Clearing all zone configurations

Use the following procedure to clear all zone configurations.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgClear command to clear all zone information in the transaction buffer.

ATTENTION

Be careful using the cfgClear command because it deletes the defined configuration.

switch:admin> cfgclear

The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones and configurations

in the Defined configuration.

Run cfgSave to commit the transaction or cfgTransAbort to cancel the transaction.

Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no]

3. Enter one of the following commands, depending on whether an effective zone configuration exists:

• If no effective zone configuration exists, use the cfgSave command.
• If an effective zone configuration exists, use the cfgDisable command to disable and clear the

zone configuration in nonvolatile memory for all switches in the fabric.

Zone object maintenance

The following procedures describe how to copy, delete, and rename zone objects. Depending on the
operation, a zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, a zone, or a zone configuration.

Copying a zone object

When you copy a zone object, the resulting object has the same name as the original. The zone object
can be a zone configuration, a zone alias, or a zone.

Use the following procedure to copy a zone object.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgShow command to view the zone configuration objects you want to copy.

cfgshow "pattern"[, mode

For example, to display all zone configuration objects that start with "Test":

switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"

cfg: Test1 Blue_zone

cfg: Test_cfg Purple_zone; Blue_zone

3. Enterzone - -copy specifying the zone objects you want to copy along with the new object name.

NOTE
Zone configuration names are case-sensitive, blank spaces are ignored, and the zone - -copy
command works in any Admin Domain except AD255.

switch:admin> zone --copy Test1 US_Test1
