Displays zone configuration information.
Synopsis cfgshow ["pattern"] [, mode]
Description Use this command to display zone configuration information.
If no operand is specified, all zone configuration information (both defined and effective) displays.
If the local switch has an outstanding transaction, this command displays the most recently edited
zone configuration that has not yet been saved. If the local switch has no outstanding transaction,
this command displays the committed zone configuration.
If a pattern is specified, only matching configurations are displayed.
The defined configuration is the complete set of all zone objects that have been defined in the
fabric. There can be multiple zone configurations defined, but only one can be enabled at a time.
There might be inconsistencies in the definitions, zones, or aliases that are referenced but not
defined, or there might be duplicate members. The defined configuration is the current state of the
administrator input.
The effective configuration is the single zone configuration that is currently enabled. The devices
that an initiator sees in the fabric are based on this configuration. The effective configuration is
built when a specific zone configuration is enabled and all error checking has been completed
successfully.
When this command is executed after a zoning transaction was aborted on the local switch, it
displays a warning message:
Warning: Current Zoning Transaction was aborted.
Reason code = Zone Config update received.
When default zoning is enabled with “No Access” mode, “No Effective configuration: (No Access)”
is displayed.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.

memory. The default value is 0.
