Modifying the Zoning Database
To modify the non-volatile zoning database, you must open an Admin session with
the
Admin
Start command. An Admin session prevents other accounts from
making changes at the same time through Telnet, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or
another management application. You must also open a Zoning Edit session with
the
Zoning Edit
Configured command. To modify the temporary merged zone set
(if one exists), enter the
Zoning Edit
Merged command. The Zoning Edit session
provides access to the
Zoneset
,
Zone
,
Alias
, and Zoning commands with which
you make modifications to the zoning database.
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> zoning edit
SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoneset . . .
SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zone . . .
SANbox (admin-zoning)#> alias . . .
SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoning . . .
When you are finished making changes, enter the
Zoning Save
command to save
the changes and close the Zoning Edit session.
SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoning save
To close the Zoning Edit session without saving changes, enter the
Zoning Cancel
command.
SANbox (admin-zoning)#> zoning cancel
Changes to the active zone set do not take effect until you activate it with the
Zoneset Activate command. The active zone set is propagated throughout the
fabric.
SANbox (admin)#> zoneset activate zoneset_1
SANbox (admin)#> admin end
The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators
when you are done making changes to the switch.
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:
SANbox (admin) #> reset zoning
