Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
Use the
zoneCreate
command to create a zone using the newly created aliases
from above as shown in this example.
test180_Jr:admin>zoneCreate “fabric_zone1”, “RAID_1_NodeName;
alias by port level”
Use the
zoneCreate
command to create a zone without using aliases as shown
in this example.
test180_Jr:admin>zoneCreate “fabric_zone2”,
“20:06:0b:00:00:06:9a:d6; 20:06:0b:00:00:06:9a:d7”
Define a Zone Configuration
To define a zone configuration, specify the list of zones to be included and assign
a zone configuration name; the zone configuration name must be a unique
alpha-numeric string beginning with an alpha character. The underscore character
( _ ) is allowed and zone names are case sensitive. For example,
configuration1
is not the same name as
Configuration1
.
Use the
cfgCreate
command to create your zone configuration.
test180_Jr.admin> cfgCreate “cfg1”, fabric_zone1; fabric_zone2”
Analyze the Zone Configuration
After creating and saving a zone configuration, HP recommends analyzing the
zone configuration. Doing this will save time and potential issues.
The Zoning Configuration Analyze screen displays a summary of the saved
configuration and warns of zoning conflicts before enabling them. Some potential
errors that might be caught are:
■
Ports/WWN/Devices that are part of the selected configuration but are not part
of the fabric.
■
Zones with a single zone object.
To access the Zoning Configuration Analysis screen, click the Analyze Config
button, in the Zone Administration window in Web Tools.
Enable a Zone Configuration
Use the
cfgEnable
to enable and save your configuration.
test180_Jr:admin>cfgEnable “cfg1”
Setting switch to Fabric mode,
Committing configuration...done.
zone config “cfg1” is in effect
