Note: The name of the current running configuration is listed directly under the Effective Configuration output ofĬommand if an active configuration already exists. Existing configurations can be observed by running the

brocade_x:admin> zonecreate "ZONE_NAME", "ALIAS_NAME_OF_INITIATOR".Run the zonecreate command to create the zone.brocade_x:admin> alicreate "ALIAS_NAME", "WWPN".You can do this for both the Initiators and Target addresses: command to create aliases for the HBA addresses that you identified by running.New zones are not automatically put into the production configuration (the Effective Configuration) until specified which will be shown in later steps. However, only a single configuration can be active at a time. Zones can be added to a configuration for production use. Any previously created zoning configurations that available are also displayed. The Defined Configuration is the section in which zones and aliases are listed. This will display two sections, Defined Configuration and Effective Configuration. Note: For devices that connect using NPIV (such as ONTAP), use a command such as portshow or nsshow to find the WWPN addresses logged in to the port.Ĭommand to display the configuration and see how the zoning is currently configured. This can be used to identify the HBA address of both the target and initiator ports which will be required for later use. Perform the following steps for zone creation with aliases:
