Renaming a zone object
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgShow command to view the zone configuration objects you want to rename.
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 zoneObjectRename command to rename zone configuration objects. Note that zone
configuration names are case-sensitive; blank spaces are ignored and it works in any Admin
Domain other than AD255.
switch:admin> zoneObjectRename "White_zone", "Purple_zone"
4. Enter the cfgShow command to verify the renamed zone object is present.
5. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, enter the cfgSave command to
save it to nonvolatile (flash) memory.
6. Enter the cfgEnable command for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change
effective.
Zone configuration management
You can add, delete, or remove individual elements in an existing zone configuration to create an
appropriate configuration for your SAN environment. After the changes have been made, save the
configuration to ensure the configuration is permanently saved in the switch and that the
configuration is replicated throughout the fabric.
The switch configuration file can also be uploaded to the host for archiving and it can be
downloaded from the host to a switch in the fabric. See “Configuration file backup” on page 180,
“Configuration file restoration” on page 181, or the configUpload and configDownload commands
in the Fabric OS Command Reference for additional information on uploading and downloading the
configuration file.
Security and zoning
Zones provide controlled access to fabric segments and establish barriers between operating
environments. They isolate systems with different uses, protecting individual systems in a
heterogeneous environment; for example, when zoning is in secure mode, no merge operations
occur.
