Zone configurations

Adding zones (members) to a zone configuration
Use the following procedure to add members to a zone configuration:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgAdd command, using the following syntax:
cfgadd "cfgname", "member[; member...]"
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile
memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run,
the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other
switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
Example
switch:admin> cfgadd "newcfg", "bluezone"
switch:admin> cfgsave
WARNING!!!
The changes you are attempting to save will render the Effective configuration
and the Defined configuration inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in
different Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if a zone
merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency it is recommended to
commit the configurations using the 'cfgenable' command.
Do you still want to proceed with saving the Defined zoning configuration
only?
(yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Removing zones (members) from a zone configuration
Use the following procedure to remove members from a zone configuration:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgRemove command, using the following syntax:
cfgremove "cfgname", "member[; member...]"
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile
memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run,
the transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other
switches to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
Example
switch:admin> cfgremove "NEW_cfg", "purplezone"
switch:admin> cfgsave
