zone

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 are:

Activates the specified zone.

Deactivates the specified zone.

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.

Enables failover mode. In failover mode, when the last ISL of a TI Zone
goes offline and there is an alternative ISL, the alternative ISL is used
and the switch does not generate any SCN or RSCN messages. If the ISL
of that TI Zone comes online again, traffic is rerouted immediately to the
original ISL.

name

Specifies the name of the zone to be created, added or deleted.

-p portlist

Specifies the lists of ports to be included, added or removed from a TI zone.
The syntax for portlist is "D,I" (Domain, Index). The port list must be enclosed
in double quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolons,
followed by a space. When you create TI zones over FCR, for a TI within an
Edge fabric use "-1"in "I" (of "D,I") in to denote Front and Translate phantom in
the E_Port list. When creating a TI zone within the Backbone fabric specify
"Port WWN" in portlist to indicate devices talking across fabrics.

activate name

deactivate name

Activates or deactivates the specified TI zones. If more than one zone is
specified, the list of zone names must be enclosed in double quotation
marks; zone names must be separated by semicolons.

delete name

Deletes TI zones from the defined TI zone lists. This command prompts for
confirmation.

show [name]

Displays zone name, port lists, failover option, configured status and, the
active status for the specified zones. The configured status reflects the latest
change that may or may not have been activated. The active status reflects
the state that is activated by cfgEnable. Without any specified name, this
command displays all TI zones in the defined configuration. The following
operand is optional:
