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
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
exists.
copy [alias_source] [alias_destination]
Creates a new alias named [alias_destination] and copies the membership into it from the alias
given by [alias_source].
create [alias]
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.
delete alias
Deletes the specified alias given by [alias] from the zoning database. If the alias is a member of
the active zone set, the alias will not be removed from the active zone set until the active zone set
is deactivated.

zoning edit session or an admin session.
