Resetting the zoning database
There are two ways to remove all aliases, zones, and zonesets from the zoning database:
• Enter the reset zoning command, as shown in the following example. This is the preferred method.
8/20q FC Switch #> admin start
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> reset zoning
The zoning configuration parameters, MergeAutoSave, DefaultZone, and DiscardInactive
remain unchanged.
• Enter the zoning clear command, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch #> admin start
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> zoning edit
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning) #> zoning clear
8/20q FC Switch (admin-zoning) #> zoning save
Deleting inactive zonesets, zones, and aliases
To delete all objects from the zoning database except those in the active zoneset, enter the
zoning delete orphans command.
8/20q FC Switch #> admin start
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> zoning delete orphans
This command will remove all zonesets, zones, and aliases
that are not currently active.
