Alias Configuration
To add a member to a zone, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click the Zones folder from the Logical Attributes pane. Right-click the folder for the zone to which you
want to add members, and then choose Insert from the pop-up menu.
You see the Add Member to Zone dialog box.
Step 2 Click the check box to the left of the port identification type you want to add.
Step 3 Select one of the port identifier options in the dialog box and click Add to add it to the zone.
You see the member in the zone server database in the lower frame.
Step 4 Repeat these steps to add other members to the zone.
Note When configuring a zone member, you can specify that a single LUN has multiple IDs depending
on the operating system. You can select from six different operating systems.

Displaying Zone Membership Information

To display zone membership information for members assigned to zones, follow these steps:
Step 1 From Fabric Manager, choose Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database from the Zone menu, or
right-click a VSAN folder in the Logical tab and choose Edit Local Full Zone Database from the
pop-up menu.
If you chose Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database , then you see the Select VSAN dialog box . Select
the VSAN and click OK.
You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database window for the VSAN you selected.
Step 2 Click the Zones folder. The right pane lists the members for each zone.
Note The default zone members are explicitly listed only when the default zone policy is configured
as permit. When the default zone policy is configured as deny, the members of this zone are not
shown. See the “Viewing Zone Statistics” section on page 15-5.

Alias Configuration

You can assign an alias name and configure an alias member using either the FC ID, fabric port WWN
(fWWN), pWWN, domain ID and port number, interface ID, IP address, or symbolic node name values.
Tip Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(4) or later supports a maximum of 2048 aliases per VSAN.
