Creating a TI zone
12
Be aware of the ramifications if you create a TI zone with failover mode disabled. See “TI zone
failover” on page 270 for information about disabling failover mode.
3. Perform the following steps if you have any TI zones with failover disabled. If all of your TI zones
are failover-enabled, skip to step 4 .
a. Change the failover option to failover enabled. This is a temporary change to avoid frame
loss during the transition.
zone --add -o f name
b. Enable the zones.
cfgenable " current_effective_configuration "
c. Reset the failover option to failover disabled. Then continue with step 4 .
zone --add -o n name
4. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.
cfgenable " current_effective_configuration "
Example of creating a TI zone
The following examples create a TI zone named “bluezone”, which contains E_Ports 1,1 and 2,4
and N_Ports 1,8 and 2,6.
To create a TI zone with failover enabled and in the activated state (default settings):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone with failover enabled (the zone is set to the activated state by default):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o f bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone with failover disabled and the state set to activated:
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o an bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone and set the state to deactivated (failover is enabled by default):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o d bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone with failover disabled and the state set to deactivated:
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti -o dn bluezone -p "1,1; 2,4; 1,8; 2,6"
To create a TI zone in the edge fabric with failover enabled and the state set to activated (default
settings):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti bluezone -p "1,1; 1,8; 2,-1; 3,-1"
To create a TI zone in the backbone fabric with failover enabled and the state set to activated
(default settings):
switch:admin> zone --create -t ti backbonezone -p "10:00:00:04:1f:03:16:f2;
1,1; 1,4; 2,7; 2,1; 10:00:00:04:1f:03:18:f1, 10:00:00:04:1f:04:06:e2"
