aliRemove

aliRemove
Removes a member from a zone alias.
SYNOPSIS
aliremove "aliName","member[; member...]"
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to remove one or more members from an existing zone alias.
If all members are removed, the zone alias is deleted.
This command changes the defined configuration. For the change to become effective, enable the zone
configuration with the cfgEnable command. For the change to be preserved across switch reboots, save
the zone configuration to nonvolatile memory with the cfgSave command.
NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
When an FCS policy is enabled, this command can be issued only from the primary FCS switch.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
"aliName"
"member"

Specify the name of the zone alias from which members are to be removed in
double quotation marks. This operand is required.
Specify a member or list of members to be removed from the alias. The list must
be enclosed in double quotation marks. Members must be separated by
semicolons. An alias member can be specified by one or more of the following
methods:
•
A switch domain and port index number pair. Use switchShow for a list of
valid port index numbers.
•
A world wide name (WWN)
The member list is located by an exact string match; therefore, it is important to
maintain the order when removing multiple members. For example, if a zone alias
contains"1,2; 1,3; 1,4", then removing"1,3; 1,4" succeeds but removing"1,4; 1,3"
fails.
