Viewing An Alias In The Defined Configuration; Creating And Maintaining Zones; Creating A Zone; Adding Devices (Members) To A Zone - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base User Manual

Viewing an alias in the defined configuration

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the aliShow command.
The following example shows all zone aliases beginning with arr:
switch:admin> alishow "arr*"
alias: array1
alias: array2
If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective configuration) is
displayed.

Creating and maintaining zones

Before executing cfgDisable, cfgEnable, or cfgSave commands, execute the rcsDisabled
command to check whether your fabric has Reliable Commit Service (RCS) enabled (rcsDisabled=0). If
RCS is disabled (rcsDisabled=1), check for older switches in the fabric. After the older switches are
upgraded, RCS is enabled by default.
RCS is available on all switch versions 4.1 and later. RCS guarantees that either all or none of the
switches receive the new zone configuration. HP recommends that you use RCS to secure a reliable
propagation of the latest zone configuration. If you use non-RCS mode, you must log in to every switch to
monitor the status of the zone configuration.

Creating a zone

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the zoneCreate command.
3. Issue the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
For example:
switch:admin> zonecreate "greenzone", "2,32; 2,33; 2,34; 4,4"
switch:admin> zonecreate "redzone", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:66:23; 4,3"
switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on the 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] y

Adding devices (members) to a zone

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the zoneAdd command.
3. Issue the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
For example:
switch:admin> zoneadd "greenzone", "1,2"
switch:admin> zoneadd "redzone", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:72:51"
switch:admin> zoneadd "bluezone", "4,6; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:66:23
switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on the 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] y
