HP ProLiant SL2500 Scalable System - Manual (Page 57)

General commands 57
ADD ZONE <zone_name> [[<PORT#> <DMPORT#>]] | [<PORT#> ALL] | [ALL]
where:
• <zone_name> is the zone name.
• <PORT#> is the port number.
• <DMPORT#> is the distribution module port number.
• <PORT# ALL> is the port number.
For example:
myslapm> add zone red 1 2
Zone RED does not exist, would you like to create it? (Y/N) -> Yes
Note: there currently is no physical chassis plugged into Power Manager port 1,
Dist. Module port 2
RED zone added
Zone definition changed, do you want to save this data to the EEPROM? (Y/N) ->
No
Note: You can also save zone data to the EEPROM at any time with the SAVE ZONES
command
myslapm>
If the zone does not already exist, then it will be automatically created and the specified chassis will be
added.
You can create up to four zones.
The parameters enable the addition of all chassis on all HP APM ports, all the chassis plugged into an HP
APM port through a HP APM Distribution Module) or a specific chassis on a specified HP APM port and HP
APM Distribution Module port. The syntax is similar to other HP APM commands such as SHOW POWER or
SHOW RACK in how HP APM and HP APM Distribution Module ports are specified.
When adding a chassis to a zone, the chassis does not have to be present and plugged into the HP APM. The
HP APM issues a message in such cases, and therefore, the chassis does not exist. Zone definitions do not
require the hardware to be actually present . For HP APM operations that might use zones (for example, SET
POWER BASELINE), only those chassis that exist and are defined in the zone are considered for the
operation.
For example:
ADD ZONE my_zone 1 5
Adds the chassis plugged into HP APM Distribution Module port 5 on HP APM port 1 to zone MY_ZONE. If
MY_ZONE did not already exist, it will be created.
ADD ZONE my_zone 1 all
Adds all the chassis plugged into an HP APM Distribution Module on HP APM port 1.
ADD ZONE my_zone all
Adds all chassis on the HP APM to zone MY_ZONE.
ADD ZONE BLUE 1 ALL 2 ALL 3 1
You can also use ALL by itself instead of a PORT DMPORT pair.
For example:
ADD ZONE BLUE ALL
Zones cannot overlap.
