Modifying The Zoning Database; Saving The Active And Merged Zone Sets - HP AK241A - StorageWorks 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Cli Manual

Modifying the zoning database

To modify the non-volatile zoning database:
1. Enter the admin start command.
8/20q FC Switch #> admin start
An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes at the same time through Telnet,
QuickTools, or any other management application.
2. Take one of the following actions:
• To open a Zoning Edit session, enter the zoning edit configured command. The Zoning Edit
session provides access to the zoneset, zone, alias, and zoning commands with which you
make modifications to the zoning database
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> zoning edit
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning)#> zoneset . . .
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning)#> zone . . .
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning)#> alias . . .
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning)#> zoning . . .
• To modify the temporary merged zone set (if one exists), enter the zoning edit merged
command.
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> zoning edit merged
3. When you are finished making changes:
• To save the changes and close the Zoning Edit session, enter the zoning save command.
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning)#> zoning save
• To close the Zoning Edit session without saving changes, enter the zoning cancel command.
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning)#> zoning cancel
4. To activate the changes to the active zone set, enter the zoneset activate command.
8/20q FC Switch (admin)#> zoneset activate zoneset_1
The active zone set is propagated throughout the fabric.
5. When you are finished making changes to the switch, enter the admin end command to release the
Admin session for other administrators.
8/20q FC Switch (admin)#> admin end
To remove all zoning database objects (aliases, zones, and zone sets) and restore the zoning database to
its factory state, enter the reset zoning command, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> reset zoning

Saving the active and merged zone sets

You can save the active zone set and merged zone set to the non-volatile zoning database. To save the
active zone set, enter the zoning active capture command, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> zoning active capture
This command will overwrite the configured zoning database in NVRAM.
Please confirm (y/n): [n] y
The active zoning database has been saved.
To the save the merged zone set, enter the zoning merged capture command, as shown in the
following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> zoning merged capture
This command will overwrite the configured zoning database in NVRAM.
Please confirm (y/n): [n] y
The merged zoning database has been saved.
