zonecfg command

This command sets and displays the serial attached SCSI (SAS) device information for BladeCenter components that is stored in I/O modules that support this feature.

Table 1. zonecfg command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Display SAS zone list	Displays a list of SAS device zones and their information that is stored in the specified I/O module.	`zonecfg`	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.
Activate SAS zone - single SAS switch	Activates a SAS zone, selected by index number, for the specified SAS switch module. Note: If the I/O module is not in an operating condition that allows a zone to be activated, the command returns an advisory message.	`zonecfg -activate` zone where zone is the index number for a valid zone. Use the `zonecfg` command, with no options, to list valid zones and their index numbers. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor I/O module configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.
Activate SAS zone - all SAS switches	Activates a SAS zone, selected by index number, for all SAS switch modules. Note: If the I/O module is not in an operating condition that allows a zone to be activated, the command returns an advisory message.	`zonecfg -activate` zone where zone is the index number for a valid zone. Use the `zonecfg` command, with no options, on all I/O modules to determine the valid zones that are common to all SAS switch modules and their index numbers. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor I/O module configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system`
Display SAS zone information	Displays information about a SAS zone, selected by index number, that is stored in the specified I/O module.	`zonecfg -view` zone where zone is the index number for a valid zone.	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.

Note: If you install both RAID SAS (RSS) and Non-RAID SAS (NSS) mass storage devices, you can only power on and manage the zone configuration for one at a time.

Example: To view the list of SAS zones stored in the I/O module in bay 1, while this I/O module is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:switch[1]> prompt, type

                  zonecfg

To activate SAS zone 5 for the I/O module in bay 1, while this I/O module is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:switch[1]> prompt, type

                  zonecfg –activate 5
