The Clear All action will clear all Aliases, Zones, FA Zones and
configurations in the Defined configuration.
Run cfgSave to commit the transaction or cfgTransAbort to cancel the
transaction.
Do you really want to clear all configurations? (yes, y, no, n): [no]

FC7700-switch-a:root> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This action will
only save the changes on Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not take effect
until it is re-enabled.
Until the Effective configuration is re-enabled, merging new switches
into the fabric is not recommended and may cause unpredictable results
with the potential of mismatched Effective Zoning configurations.
Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n):
[no]
