Deleting a zone object
The following procedure removes all references to a zone object and then deletes the zone object.
The zone object can be a zone member, a zone alias, or a zone.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the cfgShow command to view the zone configuration objects you want to delete.
switch:admin> cfgShow
Defined configuration:
cfg: USA_cfg Purple_zone; White_zone; Blue_zone
zone: Blue_zone
1,1; array1; 1,2; array2
zone: Purple_zone
1,0; loop1
zone: White_zone
1,3; 1,4
alias: array1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02
alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28
alias: loop1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85; 21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df
Effective configuration:
cfg: USA_cfg
zone: Blue_zone
1,1
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c
21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:02
1,2
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:22
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:28
zone: Purple_zone
1,0
21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:85
21:00:00:20:37:0c:71:df
3. Enter the zone --expunge command to delete the zone object. Zone configuration names are
case-sensitive; blank spaces are ignored and it works in any Admin Domain other than AD255.
switch:admin> zone --expunge "White_zone"
You are about to expunge one configuration
or member. This action could result in removing
many zoning configurations recursively.
[Removing the last member of a configuration removes the configuration.]
Do you want to expunge the member? (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
4. Enter yes at the prompt.
5. Enter the cfgShow command to verify the deleted zone object is no longer present.
6. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, enter the cfgSave command to
save it to nonvolatile (flash) memory.
7. Enter th e cfgEnable command for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change
effective.
