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 346
for additional information about disabling failover mode.
NOTE
If you have overlapping TI zones and you want to change the failover option on these zones, you must
first remove the overlapping ports from the zones, then change the failover type, and finally re-add
the overlapping members.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
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"
Be aware of the ramifications if you disable failover mode. See “TI zone failover” on page 346
for information about disabling failover mode.
3. Perform the following steps if you have any TI zones with failover disabled. If all of your TI zones
are failover-enabled, skip to step 4 .
a. Change the failover option to failover enabled. This is a temporary change to avoid frame
loss during the transition.
zone --add -o f name
b. Enable the zones.

c. Reset the failover option to failover disabled. Then continue with step 4 .
zone --add -o n name
4. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.
