Cfgshow - HP StorageWorks 2/64 - Core Switch Command Reference Manual

cfgShow

Displays zone configuration information.
Synopsis
cfgshow ["pattern"][, mode]
Availability
all users
NOTE: This command requires HP Advanced Zoning, which is included within the Base Configuration
Services and bundled with each B-series switch.
Description
Use this command to display zone configuration information.
If no operand is specified, all zone configuration information (both defined and effective) appears. If the
local switch has an outstanding transaction, this command displays the newly edited zone configuration
that has not yet been saved. If the local switch has no outstanding transaction, this command displays the
committed zone configuration.
If an operand is specified, it is used as a pattern to match zone configuration names in the defined
configuration; those that match the pattern appears.
The defined configuration is the complete set of all zone objects that have been defined in the fabric.
There can be multiple zone configurations defined, but only one can be enabled at a time. There might be
inconsistencies in the definitions, zones, or aliases that are referenced but not defined, or there might be
duplicate members. The defined configuration is the current state of the administrator input.
The effective configuration is the single zone configuration that is currently enabled. The devices that an
initiator sees in the fabric are based on this configuration. The effective configuration is built when a
specific zone configuration is enabled and all error checking has been completed successfully.
This command does not display any zoning configuration output the first time a transaction is aborted on
a local switch. Instead, this command displays the following warning:
Warning: Current Zoning Transaction was aborted.
Reason code = Zone Config update received
For example, suppose a transaction is created on SW1 using the
commands. From another switch, SW2, in the fabric, execute a transaction-closing command such as
cfgDisable, cfgEnable, or cfgSave. This sends a zone configuration update to all switches in the
fabric and the open transaction on SW1 is aborted. If you then issue a cfgShow command on SW1, only
the warning is displayed; no zoning configuration information is displayed.
NOTE: When security is enabled, this command can be issued on any FCS switch in the fabric.
