Operands add [zone] [member_list]

Specifies one or more ports/devices given by [members] to add to the zone named [zone]. Use a <space> to delimit aliases and ports/devices in [member_list]. A zone can have a maximum of 2000 members. [member_list] can have any of the following formats:

•Domain ID and port number pair (Domain ID, Port Number). Domain IDs can be 97-127; port numbers can be 0–-255.

•16-character hexadecimal world wide port name (WWPN) with the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
