a)

Change the failover option to failover enabled. This is a temporary change to avoid frame
loss during the transition.

zone --add -o f name

b)

Enable the zones.

cfgenable "current_effective_configuration"

c)

Reset the failover option to failover disabled. Then continue with step 4.

zone --add -o n name

5. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce the TI

zones.

cfgenable "base_config"

The following example creates TI zones in the base fabric shown in

Figure 46

on page 361:

BS_D1> zonecreate "z1", "1,1"

BS_D1> cfgcreate "base_cfg", z1

BS_D1> zone --create -t ti -o f "ti_zone2" -p "1,3; 1,10; 7,12; 7,14; 2,16; 2,8"

BS_D1> cfgenable "base_config"

Modifying TI zones

Using the zone --add command, you can add ports to an existing TI zone, change the failover option,
or both.You can also activate or deactivate the TI zone.

Using the zone --remove command, you can remove ports from existing TI zones. If you remove the
last member of a TI zone, the TI zone is deleted.

After you modify the TI zone, you must enable the current effective configuration to enforce the
changes.

ATTENTION

If failover is disabled, do not allocate all ISLs in TI zones. Make sure sufficient non-dedicated paths
exist through the fabric for all devices that are not in a TI zone. See

TI zone failover

on page 342 for

additional information about disabling failover mode.

NOTE
If you have overlapping TI zones and you want to change the failover option on these zones, you must
first remove the overlapping ports from the zones, then change the failover type, and finally re-add the
overlapping members.
