Availability

Release
V3.1.x and V4.1.x
Description
Use this command to create a new zone alias.
The zone alias member list must have at least one member (empty lists are not
allowed). The alias member list cannot contain another zone alias. Refer to the
zonecreate command for more information on name and member
specifications.
Zone alias members can be specified using the area number to represent a specific
port and slot combination. Area numbers are automatically assigned to a port by
the Fabric OS. You can view the area numbers using the switchShow
command.
For V4.1.x, this command changes the Defined Configuration. For the change to
be preserved across switch reboots, it must be saved to non-volatile memory using
the cfgsave command. For the change to become effective, an appropriate
zone configuration must be enabled using the cfgenable command.
Note: This command requires an Advanced Zoning License.
When security is enabled, this command can only be issued from the Primary FCS
switch. See “Security Commands” on page 941.
