Creates a named set of ports/devices. Aliases make it easier to assign a set of 
ports/devices to many zones. An alias can not have a zone or another alias as a 
member.

Admin session for all keywords except List and Members

add [alias] [member_list]
copy [alias_source] [alias_destination]
create [alias]
delete [alias]
list
members [alias]
remove [alias] [member_list]
rename [alias_old] [alias_new]

Specifies one or more ports/devices given by [member_list] to add to the alias 
named [alias]. Use a <space> to delimit ports/devices in [member_list]. An alias 
can have a maximum of 2000 members. A port/device in [member_list] can have 
any of the following formats:
„

Domain ID and port number pair (Domain ID, Port Number). Domain IDs can 
be 1–239; port numbers can be 0–255.

„

6-character hexadecimal device Fibre Channel address (hex)

„

16-character hexadecimal worldwide port name (WWPN) with the format 
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

The application verifies that the [alias] format is correct, but does not validate that 
such a port/device exists.

Creates a new alias named [alias_destination] and copies the membership into it 
from the alias given by [alias_source].

Creates an alias with the name given by [alias]. An alias name must begin with a 
letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, $, 
^, and -. The zoning database supports a maximum of 256 aliases.
