Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
Create an Alias
An alias must be a unique alpha-numeric string beginning with an alpha character.
The underscore character (_) is allowed and alias names are case sensitive. For
example,
nt_hosts
is not the same name as
NT_Hosts
.
Note:
Aliases can greatly simplify the administrative process; however, they are not
required to define zones. The alias name may not exceed 64 characters.
Use the
aliCreate
command to create aliases for areas 5 and 29 on switch 7 as
shown in this example.
test180_Jr:admin> aliCreate “alias by port level”, “7, 5: 7, 29”
Use the
aliCreate
command to create an alias for a RAID with a known
WWN as shown in this example.
test180_Jr:admin> aliCreate “RAID_1_NodeName“,
“50:06:0b:00:00:06:9a:d6“
Define a Zone
Specify the list of zone objects to be included and assign a unique zone name; the
zone name must be a unique alpha-numeric string beginning with an alpha
character. The underscore character (_) is allowed and zone names are case
sensitive. For example,
green_zone
is not the same name as
Green_Zone
.
Note:
The zone name may not exceed 64 characters.
Zones may be created with or without the use of aliases as shown in the examples
below.
zone:
ql_zone1
1,3
2,2
zone:
ql_zone2
1,4
2,1
