cfgClear

Clears all zone configurations.

Synopsis

cfgclear

Description

Use this command to clear all zone information in the transaction buffer. All defined zone objects in
the transaction buffer are deleted. If an attempt is made to commit the empty transaction buffer
while a zone configuration is enabled, you are warned to first disable the enabled zone
configuration or to provide a valid configuration with the same name.

After clearing the transaction buffer using the cfgClear command, use the cfgDisable command to
commit the transaction and then disable and clear the zone configuration in nonvolatile memory
for all the switches in the fabric.

If no current zoning configuration exists, use the cfgSave command.

If the default zone access mode is “No Access”, then this command recreates the default zoning
objects.

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

Examples

To clear all zones and then clear nonvolatile memory:

switch:admin>

cfgclear

The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones

and configurations in the Defined configuration.

cfgSave may be run to close the transaction or cfgTransAbort

may be run to cancel the transaction.

Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no]

switch:admin>

cfgsave

You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This

action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.

Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not

take effect until it is re-enabled.
