Supose we have m1 m2 m3 m4 m5...members in the zone...Now if we wanna remove specific member in that zone ....then we can use "zoneremove" command
Brocade Configuring Zoning
===Brocade create and manage zone aliases==>
First step check the switch...which gives you domain ID and port no
Step2..in this step we create alias name using domain ID..
For creating alias name we can use "alicreate" command
(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
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..
Now create configuration...for zone..
now save the configurations...
Now enable the zone...
For checking the configurations..
> alicreate "hema" "28,0"
