Zone aliases

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
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
Viewing an alias in the defined configuration
Use the following procedure to view an alias in the configuration:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the aliShow command, using the following syntax
alishow "pattern"[, mode]
If no parameters are specified, the entire zone database (both the defined and effective
configuration) is displayed.
Example
The following example shows all zone aliases beginning with “arr”.
switch:admin> alishow "arr*"
alias: array1 21:00:00:20:37:0c:76:8c
alias: array2 21:00:00:20:37:0c:66:23
