Renaming a zone object

Use the following procedure to rename a zone object.

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

switch:admin> cfgShow

Defined configuration:

cfg: USA_cfg Purple_zone; White_zone; Blue_zone

zone: Blue_zone

1,1; array1; 1,2; array2

zone: Purple_zone

1,0; loop1

zone: White_zone

1,3; 1,4

alias: array1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02

alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28

alias: loop1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df

3. Enter zoneObjectRename to rename zone configuration objects.

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

switch:admin> zoneObjectRename "White_zone", "Purple_zone"

4. Enter the cfgShow command to verify the renamed zone object is present.
5. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, enter the cfgSave command to save it

to nonvolatile (flash) memory.

NOTE
If the renamed zone object is still used in the effective configuration, running cfgSave before
cfgEnable is not allowed.

6. Enter the cfgEnable command for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change effective.

Zone configuration management

You can add, delete, or remove individual elements in an existing zone configuration to create an
appropriate configuration for your SAN environment. After the changes have been made, save the
configuration to ensure the configuration is permanently saved in the switch and that the configuration
is replicated throughout the fabric.

The switch configuration file can also be uploaded to the host for archiving and it can be downloaded
from the host to a switch in the fabric. Refer to

Configuration file backup

on page 257,

Configuration

file restoration

on page 258, or the configUpload and configDownload commands in the Fabric OS

Command Reference for additional information on uploading and downloading the configuration file.
