Creating Zone Alias Name
The information on fibre channel devices connected to an FC Switch Module can be changed to any
names.
A single zone alias name can include WWPn’s of fibre channel devices and port numbers (including
domain IDs) of FC Switch Modules.
Use the "alicreate" command to create a zone alias.
Format of "alicreate" command
alicreate "aliName" , "member;member"
(1) (2)
(1) aliName:
Specify the alias name of a zone to be created with it enclosed with double quotation marks (").
(2) member:
Specify members to be included in the zone alias name with them delimited by commas (,). A
member can consist of a port number and a WWPn.
Delimit aliName and the first member with a comma (,).
Delimit adjacent members with a semicolon (;).
3. Create zone aliases by using the "alicreate" command on the console screen.
HW060000955:admin> alicreate "ali1","1,0;1,1"
HW060000955:admin> alicreate
"ali2","10:00:00:00:c9:4b:a1:e5;20:01:00:30:13:84:03:d2"

Zone alias information can include both port numbers (including domain IDs)
and WWPn’s concurrently.
Any commands used on the switch console should be specified with
lowercase letters.
Created zone aliases can be used as members when a zone is created.
