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

alishow [--ic]["pattern"][, mode]

If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective
configuration) is displayed.
