Brocade: Peer Zone

Unlike classical zoning, the Peer zone includes principal members (targets - most often these are array ports) and peer members (initiators - ports of servers that work with LUNs).

The following rules apply in the Peer zone:
1. Peer members can only communicate with principal members within this zone.
2. Principal members cannot communicate with other principal members within this zone.

Working with the Peer zone on the command line:

1. Create a zone:
zonecreate --peerzone Name -principal "Principal_Members" -members "Peer_Members"

2. Adding new devices to the zone:
zoneadd --peerzone Name -members "Peer_Members"

3. Replacing devices in the zone:
zoneobjectreplace "Peer_Member1" "Peer_Member2"

4. Removing devices from the zone:
zoneremove --peerzone Name -members "Peer_Members"

5. Deleting a zone:
zonedelete Name

6. View:
zoneshow --peerzone all

zoneshow --peerzone all -pattern test*
View zones using wildcard filter (show all zones starting with "test").
