defZone

Sets or displays the default zone access mode.

SYNOPSIS

defzone [--noaccess | --allaccess | --show]

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to display or set the Default Zone access mode. Setting the Default Zone mode
initializes a zoning transaction (if one is not already in progress), and create reserved zoning objects.

A default zone controls device access when zoning is not enabled. When a user-specified zoning
configuration is not enabled, Default Zone is in effect, allowing access to all devices. When a
user-specified zone configuration is enabled, it overrides the Default Zone access mode.

NOTES

This command must be issued from the primary FCS switch.

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.

Zone object names beginning with the d_efault_ prefix are reserved for default zoning use. Editing of
these objects is not permitted. Therefore, cfgShow does not display the names of these objects.

If d_efault_Cfg is the effective zone configuration, both cfgShow and cfgActvShow do not display
d_efault_Cfg as the effective zone configuration.

OPERANDS

This command has the following operands:

--noaccess

Sets the default zone access mode to No Access, initializes a zoning transaction
(if one is not already in progress), and creates the reserved zoning objects
equivalent to the following zoning commands:

cfgCreate "d_efault_Cfg","d_efault_Zone"

zoneCreate "d_efault_Zone","00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01"

A cfgSave, cfgEnable, or cfgDisable command must be issued after issuing this
command to commit the changes and distribute them to the fabric; for example:

defzone --noaccess

cfgsave

An audit log record is generated for each execution of this command.

When No Access default zone is activated, the following conditions apply:

If the current effective zone configuration is disabled with the cfgDisable
command, the local switch converts this command to the equivalent of
cfgEnable "d_efault_Cfg".

If zoning receives a cfgDisable command from a remote switch that does not
support default zoning, zoning rejects the cfgDisable command in the
second phase of RCS because the remote switch does not convert the
cfgDisable command to cfgEnable "d_efault_Cfg".

--allaccess

Sets the default zone access mode to All Access, initiates a zoning transaction (if
one is not already in progress), and deletes the reserved zoning objects by
performing the equivalent to the following zoning commands:

cfgDelete "d_efault_Cfg"

zoneDelete "d_efault_Zone"
