250 Administering advanced zoning
where:
The following example shows all zones beginning with A, B, or C:
switch:admin> zoneshow "[A-C]*"
zone: Blue_zone 1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Bobs_zone 4,5; 4,6; 4,7; 4,8; 4,9
If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective configuration)
is displayed.
Validating a zone
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the
cfgShow
command to view the zone configuration objects you want to validate.
switch:admin> cfgShow
Defined configuration:
cfg: USA_cfg Purple_zone; White_zone; Blue_zone
zone: Blue_zone
1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Purple_zone
1,0; loop1
zone: White_zone
1,3; 1,4
alias: array1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02
alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28
alias: loop1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df
3. Enter the
zone
--
validate
command to list all zone members that are not part of the current zone
enforcement table. Note that zone configuration names are case-sensitive; blank spaces are ignored.
switch:admin> zone --validate "White_zone"
4. Enter the following command to validate all zones in the zone database in the defined configuration.
switch:admin> sw5:root> zone --validate -m 1
Defined configuration:
cfg: cfg1 zone1
cfg: cfg2 zone1; zone2
zone: zone1 1,1; ali1
zone: zone2 1,1; ali2
alias: ali1 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:7f*; 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:7d*
alias: ali2 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:09*; 10:00:00:05:1e:35:81:88*

The mode flag
-m
can be used to specify the zone database location. Supported mode flag values are:
• 0 - zone database from the current transaction buffer
• 1 - zone database stored from the persistent storage
• 2 - currently effective zone database.
If no mode options are given, the validated output of all three buffers is shown.
If the
-f
option is specified, all the zone members that are not enforceable would be expunged in the
transaction buffer. This pruning operation always happens on the transaction and defined buffers. You

mode
Specify 0 to display the contents of the transaction buffer (the contents of the
current transaction), or specify 1 to display the contents of the nonvolatile memory.
The default value is 0.
