zoneCreate
Create a zone.
Synopsis zoneCreate zoneName, zoneMemberList
Availability Administrator
Description Use this command to create a new zone.
A zone name is a C-style name beginning with a letter and followed by any
number of letters, digits, and underscore characters. Names are case
sensitive, for example “Zone_1” indicates a different zone than “zone_1”.
Blank spaces are ignored.
The zone member list must have at least one member (empty lists are not
allowed). The members are described by a list of member definitions
separated by semi-colons.
Specify a physical fabric port number as a pair of decimal numbers “s,p”
where “s” is the switch number (domain ID) and “p” is the port number on
that switch. For example, “2,12” specifies port 12 on switch number 2.
When a zone member is specified by physical fabric port number, all
devices connected to that port are in the zone. If this port is an arbitrated
loop, all devices on the loop are in the zone.
Specify a worldwide name as eight hex numbers separated by colons, for
example “10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a”. Zoning has no knowledge of the fields
within a worldwide name; the eight bytes are simply compared with the
node and port names presented by a device in a login frame (FLOGI or
PLOGI). When a zone member is specified by node name, all ports on that
device are in the zone. When a zone member is specified by port name,
only that single device port is in the zone.
Specify a QuickLoop AL_PA as a QuickLoop name followed by a list of
AL_PAs, for example “qloop1[01,02]”. QuickLoop names have the same
format as zone names, and are created with the
qloopCreate command to
define a switch or pair of switches that form the QuickLoop.
