Alias names must be unique and must not resemble valid SAS addresses (16

 

hexadecimal characters that start with the number 5). The only special characters you

 

can use in an alias are pound (#), dash, and underscore. The tree displays aliases only for

 

the devices presently in the domain. To see aliases for other devices, use the

 

View/Delete Aliases command.

3.6.1.2 View/Delete Aliases

Use the View/Delete Aliases command to display a list of all aliases associated with the

 

focused domain, including aliases assigned to devices that are not presently in the

 

domain. You also can also this command to delete aliases.

3.6.2Automatically Configure Zone Groups and Zone Sets

3.6.2.1Initiator Isolation Wizard

Figure 7: View/Delete Aliases

To delete an alias, select the check box next to it and click Delete.

Zoning wizards simplify zone set creation. The Automatically Configure Zone Groups and Zone Sets commands include three wizards that can automate the configuration of zone groups and zone sets.

The Initiator Isolation Wizard creates a zone set that isolates initiators from one another, while exposing all targets to each other. Use the Initiator Isolation Wizard to automatically configure a zone set and two associated zone groups based on a snapshot of the current domain. Each window of the wizard includes instructions to guide you through the configuration process.

After it prompts you to type the zone set name (maximum of 28 characters), the wizard checks the domain to determine if any initiators or targets are attached to the ZPSDS at the same point and share a common ZPSDS entry point. If so, the topology cannot support this zoning configuration, and the wizard terminates with an error message.
