Zones and aliases

[igor_bakman]

Hi all,

I came across an issue I cannot resolve:

switch# show zoneset

zoneset name Z_S_1 vsan 1

  zone name Z_1 vsan 1

    fcalias name FC_1 vsan 1

      pwwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01

  zone name Z_2 vsan 1

    fcalias name FC_2 vsan 1

      pwwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:02

    fcalias name FC_3 vsan 1

      pwwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:03

      pwwn 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:04

My question is, how can it be that under one fcalias, will be tow different pwwns? is it not one-to-one mapping?

Best regarsds,

Igor.

Hi Igor,

fcalias can be one to many.

Step 4: Note Multiple members can be specified on multiple lines.
