zone
2
mode
Specifies the zone database location. This operand is optional. If no mode option
is specified, the validated output of all the three buffers is displayed. Supported
mode flag values include the following:
0
Uses the zone database from the current transaction buffer.
1
Uses the zone database stored in persistent storage.
2
Uses the currently enforced zone database.
"zone_object"
Specifies a zone object. A zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, or a
zone.
2. Creating and managing TI Zones
Use these commands to create and manage TI Zones.
--create
Creates a TI Zone with specified options and port list.
--add
Adds port list members and the failover option to existing TI zones.
--remove
Removes port list members from existing zones. Removal of the last member
from an active TI zone generates a warning. If the last member of a TI zone is
removed, the TI zone name is removed from the defined TI zone list.
The following operands are supported:
-t objecttype
Specifies the zone object type. This operand is supported only with the --create
option. To create a TI zone, the value is ti.
-o optlist
Specifies list of options to control activation, deactivation, and failover mode. If this
option is not specified the zone is created, by default, with failover enabled, and
the zone will be activated. This operand is supported only with the --create and
--add options.
Valid values for optlist include the following:
a
Activates the specified zone.
d
Deactivates the specified zone.
n
Disables failover mode. In non-failover mode, when the last interswitch link
(ISL) of a TI Zone goes offline and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative
ISL is not used and the switch generates a state change notification (SCN) or
a registered state change notification (RSCN) to indicate that no ISL is
available. When the ISL of the TI Zone comes online again, the route is set up
again and the switch generates another SCN or RSCN. TI zones with
no-failover option are not supported in logical fabrics. TI zones defined in the
Base Fabric for logical fabric traffic need to allow failover.
