Creating a TI zone

Creating a TI zone in a base fabric
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Create a “dummy” zone configuration in the base fabric. For example:
zone --create "z1", "1,1"
cfgcreate "base_config", z1
3. Enter the zone -- create command to create the TI zone in the base fabric:
zone --create -t objtype -o f name -p "portlist"
The disable failover option is not supported in base fabrics.
4. 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 5 .
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
5. Enter the cfgEnable command to reactivate your current effective configuration and enforce
the TI zones.

Example
The following example creates TI zones in the base fabric shown in Figure 44 on page 362:
BS_D1> zonecreate "z1", "1,1"
BS_D1> cfgcreate "base_cfg", z1
BS_D1> zone --create -t ti -o f "ti_zone2" -p "1,3; 1,10; 7,12; 7,14; 2,16;
2,8"
BS_D1> cfgenable "base_config"
