Description
This command creates a new Fabric Assist zone (fazone). You must specify a
name and member list for a Fabric Assist zone. The FA zone name must be unique
from any previously used Fabric Assist zone object. The member list must be
enclosed in quotation marks and each member must be separated by a semicolon.
A Fabric Assist zone name is a C language-style name. It must begin with a letter
and be followed by any number of letters, digits, and underscore characters.
Names are case sensitive, for example, "Zone_1" and "zone_1" are different
Fabric Assist zones. White space is ignored.
The Fabric Assist zone member list must have at least one member. Empty lists
are not allowed.
When a Fabric Assist zone member is specified by physical fabric port number,
then any and all devices connected to that port are in the Fabric Assist zone. If this
port is an arbitrated loop, then all devices on the loop are in the Fabric Assist zone.
WWNs are specified as eight hex numbers separated by colons, for example,
"10:00:00:60:69:00:00:8a". Zoning has no knowledge of the fields within a
WWN; the eight bytes are simply compared with the Node and Port Names
presented by a device in a login frame (FLOGI or PLOGI).
When a Fabric Assist zone member is specified by Node Name, then all ports on
that device are in the Fabric Assist zone. When a Fabric Assist zone member is
specified by Port Name, only that single device port is in the Fabric Assist zone.
