Syntax

rename [alias_old] [alias_new]
Operands
add [alias] [member_list]
Specifies one or more ports/devices given by [member_list] to add to the alias named [alias].
Use a <space> to delimit ports/devices in [member_list]. An alias can have a maximum of 2,000
members. A port/device in [member_list] can have any of the following formats:
• Domain ID and port number pair (Domain ID, Port Number). Domain IDs can be 1–239; port
numbers can be 0–255.
• 6-character hexadecimal device Fibre Channel address (hex)
• 16-character hexadecimal Worldwide Port Name (WWPN) 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/device 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
