Activating A Zone Set And Distributing It To The Entire Fabric; Triggering A Complete Distribution - HP 5920 SERIES Fc And Fcoe Configuration Manual

You can use the display zone status command to view the hard zoning status.
Do not configure this command when the switch is merging or distributing zones.
To enable hard zoning:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VSAN view.
3. Enable hard zoning.
Activating a zone set and distributing it to the entire
fabric
You can use the zoneset activate command to activate a zone set as the active zone set on a switch and
distribute the active zone set to the entire fabric. Then, the active zone set is used to implement access
control. The modifications to the active zone set do not take effect until reactivation.
The zone set to be activated must have been created and must contain at least one N_Port member. Only
one active zone set can exist in a VSAN. In basic zoning mode, if the size of the active zone set exceeds
the system limit, the activation fails.
In basic zoning mode, the distribution type specified by using the zoneset distribute full command
applies to distribution operations triggered by the zoneset activate command. In enhanced zoning mode,
the zoneset distribute full command is not supported, and the distribution type is always complete.
In either basic or enhanced zoning mode, the system prints a log message if the activation fails. To
ensure a consistent active zone set across the fabric, reactivate the zone set.
To activate a zone set and distribute it to the entire fabric:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VSAN view.
3. Activate a zone set as the active zone set and
distribute it to the entire fabric.
NOTE:
Active zone set information will not contain the alias names of zone members. If a zone in the active zone
set has members with a zone alias, the non-overlapping N_Port members in the zone alias are added to
the zone. You can view the zone member change by using the display zoneset active command.

Triggering a complete distribution

Use the zoneset distribute command to trigger a one-time complete distribution, which distributes both
the active zone set and zone database. In enhanced zoning mode, the zone policy and hard zoning
status are also distributed.
