Keywords add [alias] [member_list]

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

„Domain ID and port number pair (Domain ID, Port Number). Domain IDs can be 1–-239; port numbers can be 0–-255.

„6-character hexadecimal device Fibre Channel address (hex)
