Connectrix Brocade B-Series: How to replace zone members

One can use zoneObjectReplace command to replace the existing member of a zone or a Peer Zone with a new member. This command can be used to replace members of an alias, but an alias itself cannot be replaced.

SYNTAX
zoneobjectreplace oldmember newmember

The following operands are required:
Oldmember: Specifies the the zone member that has to be replaced. You can specify WWN or Domain,Index (D,I).
Newmember: Specifies the new zone member with which to replace the old zone member. You can specify WWN or D,I.

Use the following procedure to replace zone member.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter cfgShow to view the zone configuration member you want to replace.

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

3. Enter zoneObjectReplace to replace zone member.

switch:admin> zoneobjectreplace "21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c" "10:00:00:05:1e:a1:10:c1"

4. Enter the cfgShow command to verify the replaced member is present.
5. If you want the change preserved when the switch reboots, enter the cfgSave command to save it to non-volatile (flash) memory.
6. Enter the cfgEnable command for the appropriate zone configuration to make the change effective.

When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

This command is not supported on the Brocade Analytics Monitoring Platform.
