cfgSave

Saves zone configuration to nonvolatile memory.

Synopsis

cfgsave

Description

Use this command to save the current zone configuration. This command writes the defined
configuration and the name of the effective configuration to nonvolatile memory in all switches in
the fabric.

The saved configuration is automatically reloaded at power on, and, if a configuration was in effect
at the time it was saved, the same configuration is reinstalled with an automatic cfgEnable
command.

Because the saved configuration is reloaded at power on, only valid configurations are saved.
cfgSave validates the effective configuration by performing the same tests as cfgEnable. If the
tests fail, an error displays and the configuration is not saved.

This command ends and commits the current transaction. If a transaction is open on a different
switch in the fabric when this command is run, the transaction on the other switch is automatically
aborted. A message displays on the other switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.

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

none

Examples

To save a zone configuration:

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.

Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no]
