Cfgsave - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

cfgSave

Saves the zone configuration to nonvolatile memory.
SYNOPSIS
cfgsave
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to save the current zone configuration. This command writes the defined
configuration and the name of the effective configuration to nonvolatile memory in all switches in the
fabric.
The saved configuration is automatically reloaded at power on, and, if a configuration was in effect at the
time it was saved, the same configuration is reinstalled with an automatic cfgEnable command.
Because the saved configuration is reloaded at power on, only valid configurations are saved. The
cfgSave command validates the effective configuration by performing the same tests as the cfgEnable
command. If the tests fail, an error message is displayed and the configuration is not saved.
This command ends and commits the current transaction. If a transaction is open on a different switch in
the fabric when this command is run, the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A
message displays on the other switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

switch:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled. Until the Effective
configuration is re-enabled, merging new switches into the
fabric is not recommended and may cause unpredictable
results with the potential of mismatched Effective Zoning
configurations.
Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration
