Usage Guidelines
You can import legacy device name configurations using this feature without losing data, if they satisfy
the following restrictions:
•
•
If any name conflict exists, the fcaliases are not imported. The device name database is completely
independent from the VSAN dependent fcalias database.
When the import operation is complete, the modified global fcalias table can distributed to all other
switches in the physical fabric using the device-alias distribute command so that new definitions are
available everywhere.
Examples
The following example shows how to import device alias information:
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# device-alias import fcalias vsan 10
