Deleting an alias, Viewing an alias in the defined configuration – Brocade Fabric OS Administrators Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) User Manual
Page 308

Example
switch:admin> aliremove "array1", "1,2"
switch:admin> aliremove "array2", "21:00:00:20:37:0c:72:51"
switch:admin> aliremove "loop1", "4,6"
switch:admin> cfgsave
WARNING!!!
The changes you are attempting to save will render the
Effective configuration and the Defined configuration
inconsistent. The inconsistency will result in different
Effective Zoning configurations for switches in the fabric if
a zone merge or HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency
it is recommended to commit the configurations using the
'cfgenable' command.
Do you still want to proceed with saving the Defined
zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Deleting an alias
Use the following procedure to delete an alias.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the aliDelete command, using the following syntax.
alidelete "aliasname"
3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.
The cfgSave command ends and commits the current zoning transaction buffer to nonvolatile
memory. If a transaction is open on a different switch in the fabric when this command is run, the
transaction on the other switch is automatically aborted. A message displays on the other switches
to indicate that the transaction was aborted.
Example
switch:admin> alidelete "array1"
switch:admin> cfgsave
