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 (see cfgShow). 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.

This command requires a Brocade Advanced Zoning license.

When secure mode 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 to have members removed, in quotation

marks. This operand is required.

"member" Specify a member or list of members to be removed from the alias, in

quotation marks, separated by semicolons. An alias member can be specified

by one or more of the following methods:

• A switch domain and port area number pair. For ports using the

switchShow command, view the area numbers.

• WWN

• QuickLoop AL_PAs

This operand is required. 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 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"
