Maintaining zone objects
While you can use the
cfgDelete
command to delete a zone configuration, there is a quicker and easier
way to perform the same task via the zone object commands (zoneObjectExpunge, zoneObjectCopy, and
zoneObjectRename). You can also copy and rename zone objects. When you copy a zone object, the
resulting object has the same type as the original. Deleting a zone object also removes the object from any
member lists of other objects. You can rename objects for all zone object types.
To copy a zone object
1. Connect to the switch and log in as
admin
.
2. Enter the
cfgShow
command to view the zone configuration objects you want to copy.
For example, to display all zone configuration objects that start with “Test”:
3. Enter the
zoneObjectCopy
command, specifying the zone configuration objects you want to copy,
along with the new object name. Note that zone configuration names are case sensitive; blank spaces
are ignored.
4. Enter the
cfgShow
command to verify the new zone object is present.
5. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, save it to nonvolatile (also known as “flash”)
memory by entering the
cfgSave
command.
6. For the change to become effective, enable the appropriate zone configuration using the
cfgEnable
command.
