DESCRIPTION

NOTES

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.

When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

OPERANDS

and effective). Refer to cfgShow for a description of this display. The following operands are optional:

--ic

Displays all configured zone alias names for a given pattern without case
distinction.

"pattern"

must be enclosed in quotation marks. Patterns may contain:

•

Question mark (?) - matches any single character.

•

Asterisk (*) - matches any string of characters.

•

Range - matches any character within the range. Ranges must be enclosed
in brackets: for example, [0-9] or [a-f].

mode

Specify 0 to display the contents of the transaction buffer (the contents of the
current transaction), or specify 1 to display the contents of the nonvolatile
memory. The default value is 0.

--help
