Likewise, if you used the port identifier of a storage system when you created the zone, use the
appiqadd -zone <zone id> -port <port id> command to add the port identifier for the
host. This command is for switches that do not use virtuals storage area networks (VSANs). Use the
appiqcreate -zone <VSAN1>:<switch1>:<zone> -fabric <fabric id> -port
<port id> command for switches that do use virtual storage area networks.
Naming Conventions for Brocade Switches:
• The name must contain 1 to 64 characters.
• The name must begin with a letter. Any character other than the first character can be a letter, a
number (0 to 9), or an underscore (_).
• The name is case sensitive. For example, "Zone1" and "zone1" are different zones.
• You cannot create a zone with the same name as an existing zone, zone alias or zone set. For
example, if you create a zone named “new”, you cannot give a zone, zone alias, or zone set
the same name.
• The following characters are invalid for Brocade switches: caret (^), dash (-), and dollar sign
($).
Naming Conventions for McDATA and Connectrix Switches:
• The name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
• The first character of a zone name must be a letter (A-Z, AZ).
• A zone name cannot contain spaces.
• Valid characters are a-a, AA, 0-9, caret (^), dash ( -), underscore ( _), and dollar sign ($).
• All names must be unique and may not differ by case. For example, myzone and MyZone are
considered to be the same zone.
