Zone creation and maintenance

The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile

memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run,

the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other

switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.

Example Deleting zone members

switch:admin> cfgshow

Defined configuration:

zone: matt zeus; bond; jeff; 4,8

zone: sloth bawn; bolt; bond; brain; brit; bru; 10:00:00:00:01:1e:20:20

Effective configuration:

No Effective configuration: (No Access)

switch:admin>

switch:admin> zonedelete sloth

switch:admin> cfgsave

WARNING!!!

The changes you are attempting to save will render the Effective configuration

and the Defined configuration inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in

different Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if a zone

merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency it is recommended to

commit the configurations using the 'cfgenable' command.

Do you still want to proceed with saving the Defined zoning configuration

only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
