Clearing all zone configurations

Use the following procedure to clear all zone configurations:

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Use cfgClear to clear all zone information in the transaction buffer.

ATTENTION

Be careful using the cfgClear command because it deletes the defined configuration.

switch:admin> cfgclear
The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones and configurations
in the Defined configuration.
Run cfgSave to commit the transaction or cfgTransAbort to cancel the transaction.
Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no]

3. Enter one of the following commands, depending on whether an effective zone configuration

exists:

If no effective zone configuration exists, use the cfgSave command.

If an effective zone configuration exists, use the cfgDisable command to disable and clear
the zone configuration in nonvolatile memory for all switches in the fabric.

Zone object maintenance

The following procedures describe how to copy, delete, and rename zone objects. Depending on
the operation, a zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, a zone, or a zone configuration.

Copying a zone object

When you copy a zone object, the resulting object has the same name as the original. The zone
object can be a zone configuration, a zone alias, or a zone.

Use the following procedure to copy a zone object:

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Use cfgShow to view the zone configuration objects you want to copy.

cfgshow "pattern"[, mode]

For example, to display all zone configuration objects that start with “Test”:

switch:admin> cfgshow "Test*"

cfg:

Test1

Blue_zone

cfg:

Test_cfg

Purple_zone; Blue_zone

3. Use zone

--

copy specifying the zone objects you want to copy along with the new object name.

NOTE

Zone configuration names are case-sensitive, blank spaces are ignored, and the zone

--

copy

command works in any Admin Domain except AD255.

switch:admin> zone --copy Test1 US_Test1
