Step2..in this step we create alias name using domain ID.. For creating alias name we can use "alicreate" command > alicreate "hema" "28,0" (here 28 is the switch number ...And Hema is the alias name..) Actually, "hema"(alias name) connected to the port-0... if you want to create another alias name ....use same command

>alicreate "kiran","28,1" kiran connected to the port-1. Its better do zoning by "WWN" like alicreate "hema" "50:01:43:80:01:1c:55:80" 50:01:43:80:01:1c:55:80---- this is the WWN of HBA Now ready to creating ...zones.. >zonecreate "hemazone","hema;kiran" Now create configuration...for zone.. >cfgcreate "cfghard","hemazone" now save the configurations... >cfgsave Now enable the zone... >cfgenable "hemazone" For checking the configurations.. >cfgshow +++++++++++++++++++Over view++++++++++++ >switchshow > alicreate "hema" "28,0" >alicreate "kiran","28,1" >zonecreate "hemazone","hema;kiran" >cfgcreate "cfghard","hemazone" >cfgsave >cfgenable "hemazone" >cfgshow --hema_kommoju2007 03:41, 6 March 2010 (EST) hema_kommoju2007@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Assigning aliase name with domain id & port no To specify by port number, you must specify switch domain ID and port number, fo r example, 2,12 indicates switch domain ID 2, port number 12. When a member is spe cified by port number all devices connected to the port are included in the zone .

i.e admin> aliCreate "A_ServerA_hba0", "1,3" admin> aliCreate "A_ServerA_hba1 , "2,3" Before making any change to the switch configuration its recommended to save the config to a differet server or location Identify the server which you re going to upload the configuration and type conf igupload. ab001:admin> configupload Protocol (scp, ftp, local) [ftp]: Server Name or IP Address [host]: 140.199.72.100 User Name [user]: nurledge File Name [config.txt]: lab001_bkp_june10 Section (allchassis [all]): Password: configUpload complete: All config parameters are uploaded lab001:admin> Posted by abu maryam
