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 become effective, enable the
zone configuration with the cfgEnable command. For the change to be preserved across switch
reboots, save the zone configuration to nonvolatile memory with cfgSave.
Note 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, enclosed in quotation marks.
“member” Specify a member or list of members to be added to the alias, enclosed in
quotation marks. Members must be separated by semicolons. An alias
member can be specified by one or more of the following methods:
• A switch domain and port area or index number pair. Use switchShow for
a list of valid port area or index numbers.
• WWN
Examples To add members to zone aliases array1, array2, and loop1:
switch:admin> aliadd "array1", "1,2"
switch:admin> aliadd "array2", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:72:51"
switch:admin> aliadd "loop1", "4,5[0x02]; 6,7[0xEF]"
