switch(config)# zoneset new-zoneset vsan XXX
switch(config-zoneset)# member first-new-zone

to backout use
switch(config-zoneset)# no member mistake-zone

Loved the simplicity of your blog. Good work and thanks

Dominik I think you and Scott are both correct depending on your fabric. If you are in a multi-switch/multi-vsan fabric it is best to use the device-alias database to store all your device alias. This will allow you to add in your device-aliases once distribute them to all MDS switches and use them for any vsan. if you are in single-switch/single-vsan fabric using the fcalias command should be sufficient. Scott thanks for the tip on the zoneset clone command I will be using that one.

Indeed! Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected!

I think you’ve made a typo in your two references to vlan’s in the last section of examples – it should be:

switch(config)# zoneset new-zoneset vsan XXX
and
zoneset activate name new-zoneset vsan XXX

understandably easy to mistype

In a “pure” MDS9k environment I’d recommend to use (enhanced) device-alias instead of fcaliases.
It makes life a lot easier if you’re going to use other MDS9k features (i.e. DMM)
