aliAdd

Adds a member to a zone alias.

Synopsis aliadd “aliName”, “member[;member...]”

Description Use this command to add one or more members to an existing zone alias. The alias member list

cannot contain another zone alias.

This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to be preserved across switch

reboots, it must be saved to nonvolatile memory using the cfgSave command. For the change to

become effective, an appropriate zone configuration must be enabled using the cfgEnable

command.

Notes This command requires a Brocade Advanced Zoning license.

When FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.

Operands The following operands are required:

“aliName” Specify the name of a zone alias, in quotation marks. This operand is

required.

“member” Specify a member or list of members to be added to the alias, in quotation

marks, separated by semicolons. This operand is required. An alias member

can be specified by one or more of the following methods:

switchShow command, view the area numbers.
