add [alias] [members]
Specifies one or more ports given by [members] to add to the alias named [alias]. An alias can have a
maximum of 2000 members. [members] can have one of the following formats:
• Domain ID and port number pair (domain ID, port number). Domain IDs and port numbers are in
decimal format. Ports are numbered beginning with 0.
• 6-character hexadecimal device Fibre Channel address (hex)
• 16-character hexadecimal port worldwide name (PWWN) with the format

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