be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command

When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

Operands When invoked without operand, this command displays all zone configuration information (defined

and effective). Refer to cfgShow for a description of this display. The following operands are

optional:

“pattern” A POSIX-style regular expression that matches zone alias names. This

operand must be enclosed in quotation marks. Patterns may contain:

• Question mark (?) - matches any single character.

• Asterisk (*) - matches any string of characters.

• Range - matches any character within the range. Ranges must be

enclosed in brackets: for example, [0-9] or [a-f].

mode Specify 0 to display the contents of the transaction buffer (the contents of the

current transaction), or specify 1 to display the contents of the nonvolatile

memory. The default value is 0.

If no parameters are specified, all zone configuration information (both defined and effective) is

displayed. Refer to cfgShow for a description of this display.
