Usage Guidelines
You can import legacy device name configurations using this feature without losing data, if they satisfy
the following restrictions:
•
Each fcalias has only one member.
•
The member type is supported by the device name implementation.
If any name conflict exists, the fcaliases are not imported. The device name database is completely
independent from the VSAN dependent fcalias database.
When the import operation is complete, the modified global fcalias table can distributed to all other
switches in the physical fabric using the
device-alias distribute
command so that new definitions are
available everywhere.
Examples
The following example shows how to import device alias information:
switch(config)#
device-alias import fcalias vsan 10
