a <space> to delimit aliases and ports/devices in [member_list]. A zone can have a maximum
of 2000 members. [member_list] can have any of the following formats:
• Domain ID and port number pair (Domain ID, Port Number). Domain IDs can be 97-127; port
numbers can be 0–-255.
• 16-character hexadecimal world wide port name (WWPN) with the format

member exists.
