aliRemove
Removes a member from a zone alias.
Synopsis aliremove “aliName”, “member[; member...]”
Description Use this command to remove one or more members from an existing zone alias.
If all members are removed, the zone alias is deleted.
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 the cfgSave command.
Note When FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
Operands This command has the following operands:
“aliName” Specify the name of the zone alias from which members are to be removed in
quotation marks. This operand is required.
“member” Specify a member or list of members to be removed from the alias. The list
must be 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
The member list is located by an exact string match; therefore, it is important
to maintain the order when removing multiple members. For example, if a
zone alias contains “1,2; 1,3; 1,4”, then removing“1,3; 1,4” succeeds but
removing “1,4; 1,3” fails.
Examples To remove a World Wide Name from “array1”:
switch:admin> aliremove "array1", "3,5"
switch:admin> aliremove "array1", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c"
switch:admin> aliremove "array1", "0xEF"
