Modifying TI zones
12
Creating a TI zone in a base fabric
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Create a “dummy” zone configuration in the base fabric. For example:
zone --create "z1", "1,1"
cfgcreate "base_config", z1
3. Enter the zone --create command to create the TI zone in the base fabric:
zone --create -t objtype -o f name -p "portlist"
The disable failover option is not supported in base fabrics.
4. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.
cfgenable "base_config"
Example
The following example creates TI zones in the base fabric shown in Figure 46 on page 280:
BS_D1> zonecreate "z1", "1,1"
BS_D1> cfgcreate "base_cfg", z1
BS_D1> zone --create -t ti -o f "ti_zone2" -p "1,3; 1,10; 7,12; 7,14; 2,16;
2,8"
BS_D1> cfgenable "base_config"
Modifying TI zones
Using the zone --add command, you can add ports to an existing TI zone, change the failover
option, or both.You can also activate or deactivate the TI zone.
Using the zone
--remove command, you can remove ports from existing TI zones. If you remove the
last member of a TI zone, the TI zone is deleted.
After you modify the TI zone, you must enable the current effective configuration to enforce the
changes.
ATTENTION
If failover is disabled, do not allocate all ISLs in TI zones. Make sure sufficient non-dedicated paths
exist through the fabric for all devices that are not in a TI zone. See “TI zone failover” on page 268
for additional information about disabling failover mode.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter one of the following commands, depending on how you want to modify the TI zone.
• Enter the zone --add command to add ports or change the failover option for an existing
TI zone. You can also activate or deactivate the zone.
zone --add [-o optlist] name -p "portlist"
zone --add -o optlist name [-p "portlist"]
• Enter the zone --remove command to remove ports from an existing TI zone.
zone --remove name -p "portlist"
