Creating a zoning configuration

3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.

The following example illustrates the creation of a zone by specifying the aliases for FC targets

and iSCSI virtual initiators as members of the named zone.

switch:admin> cfgsave

You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This

action will only save the changes on the Defined configuration.

Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not

take effect until it is re-enabled.

You can create zones, add and remove members from a zone, and delete zones. These zone

operations function the same way with iSCSI as without. To learn more about these operations, see

“About Zones” in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the zoneCreate command in the Fabric

OS Command Reference.

Creating a zoning configuration

After creating one or more zones, you can add them to the zoning configuration database and

enable the zoning configuration.

see “About Zones” in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the zoneCreate command in the

Fabric OS Command Reference.
