Creating and maintaining zones
Before executing
cfgDisable,cfgEnable
, or
cfgSave
, execute the
rcsDisabled
command to
check whether or not your fabric has Reliable Commit Service (RCS) enabled ( rcsDisabled=0 ). If RCS is
disabled ( rcsDisabled=1 ), check for older switches in the fabric. After the older switches are upgraded,
RCS is enabled by default.
RCS is available on all switch versions 4.1 and later. RCS guarantees that either
all or none of the switches
receive the new zone configuration. It is recommended that you use RCS to secure a reliable propagation
of the latest zone configuration. If you use non-RCS mode, you must log in to every switch to monitor the
status of the zone configuration.
To create a zone
1. Connect to the switch and log in as
admin
.
2. Enter the
zoneCreate
command.
