3. Creating and managing RD Zones
--rdcreate
Creates a RD Zone for the specified members. The following operands are
required:
host_wwn
Specifies the port world wide name of the host.
target_wwn
Specifies the port world wide name of the target.
vi_wwn
Specifies the port world wide name of the virtual initiator (VI).
vt_wwn
Specifies the port world wide name of the virtual target (VT).
policy restartable | nonrestartable
Specifies the policy as either restartable or nonrestartable. A restartable policy
causes traffic flow to revert to the physical host and target configuration in the
event the virtual device should fail. When the policy is specified as nonrestricted
and one of the virtual devices goes offline, the physical devices are considered
offline and no traffic is allowed between the original host and target.
FCR | noFCR
Indicates whether or not this RD zone should function across a Fibre Channel
router (FCR). Specify FCR to support FCR. Specify noFCR if you do not wish to
support FCR.
--rddelete name
Deletes the RD Zone specified by name. RD Zones are unique in that the zone
name is not user-defined. It is derived based on members and the specified
configuration. Use cdfgShow to display currently implemented RD zone by name.
EXAMPLES
1. Specific zone operation commands
The following example shows a scenario of an invalid configuration. If you attempt to create a zone z10
with an alias a10, then create a zone with name a10, z10 expects a10 to be an alias and results in an
invalid configuration.
To validate all zones in the currently enforced zone database:
switch:admin> zonecreate z10,a10
switch:admin> zonecreate a10, 1,2
switch:admin> zone --validate
Defined configuration:
zone: a10 1,2*
zone: z10 a10~
Effective configuration:
No Effective configuration: (No Access)

~ - Invalid configuration
