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?

Removing members from an alias

Use the following procedure to removing a member from an alias:

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Enter the aliRemove command, using the following syntax:

aliremove "aliasname", "member[; member...]"

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> 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

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
