The alias and unalias commands
Secure Path supports the use of aliases. Aliases substitute default names for
custom names.
Example:
The World Wide Node Name (WWNN) of a storage system is
5000-1FE1-0005-3480. You can assign the alias Fire to replace the
longer, less easy-to-remember WWNN 5000-1FE1-0005-3480.
When an alias is used in an spmgr display, it is shown in parenthesis after the
term that it substitutes for.
Example:
Storage: 5000-1FE1- 0005-3480 (fire)
The alias is fire.
Alias commands:
■ Define an alias and store it for future use
■ Remove an alias from the alias table
■ Display the alias table
# spmgr alias alias_name old_name
To add an alias to the alias table, use the following alias command.
Syntax:
# spmgr alias alias_name old_name
The following example creates the alias Birdtop for the controller serial
number P56350A91MN19M.
# spmgr alias Birdtop P56350A91MN19M
