Keywords
add [alias] [member_list]
Specifies one or more ports/devices given by [member_list] to add to the alias
named [alias]. Use a <space> to delimit ports/devices in [member_list]. An alias
can have a maximum of 2000 members. A port/device in [member_list] can have
any of the following formats:
„
Domain ID and port number pair (Domain ID, Port Number). Domain IDs can
be 1–239; port numbers can be 0–255.
„
6-character hexadecimal device Fibre Channel address (hex)
„
16-character hexadecimal worldwide port name (WWPN) with the format
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
The application verifies that the [alias] format is correct, but does not validate that
such a port/device exists.
copy [alias_source] [alias_destination]
Creates a new alias named [alias_destination] and copies the membership into it
from the alias given by [alias_source].
create [alias]
Creates an alias with the name given by [alias]. An alias name must begin with a
letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, $,
^, and -. The zoning database supports a maximum of 256 aliases.
