Brocade Zone Deletion from effective config
Hello,
Im new to the brocade SAN switch admin and I have been assigned a task to clean up all the unused zones. I have collected the details and used zonedelete command to delete the zones. But the zones are still showing up in the cfgsave command but when I use zoneshow command, it says , zone not present. I find it really crazy. Does anyone know what is going on with it or Im I doing something wrong. Even the zoneObjectExpunge command outputs Zone doesn't exist !!!!

One more thing. Once you remove the zone from the config make sure you enable and save the config:
cfgenable "cfgname"
cfgsave (no parameters are required; just enter cfgsave)

The cfgenable command probably saved it automatically. You should be all set now. The zone will no re-appear again

You need quotes because the zoneshow is looking for a pattern.
To remove the zone from the config (i.e. zoneset): cfgremove "cfgName", "zonename"
To delete a zone: zonedelete "zonename"
To delete an alias: alidelete "aliasname"

You are about to enable a new zoning configuration.
This action will replace the old zoning configuration with the
current configuration selected. If the update includes changes
to one or more traffic isolation zones, the update may result in
localized disruption to traffic on ports associated with
the traffic isolation zone changes
Do you want to enable 'san_48ka' configuration (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
zone config "san_48ka" is in effect
Updating flash ...
sw48k-a:admin> cfgsave
You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This
action will only save the changes on Defined configuration.
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled.
Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Nothing changed: nothing to save, returning ...

sw48k-a:admin>Looks like it worked it time, I hope it doesn't show up after sometime. Also, do you have any idea about how to delete a zone in the effective configuration. The sentence "
Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not
take effect until it is re-enabled." followed by "Nothing changed: nothing to save, returning ..." is something that appears to be confusing.
