Now we will create alias between WWN to Hostname

alicreate “hostName”,”WWN”

Once we’ve added the alias, we can set up the zone between new server alias to storage

zonecreate “zoneName”,”hostName;storageName”

zonecreate “hostName_fabricConfigName_storageName”,”hostName;storageName“

Once the zone is configured, we need to add and enable the new configuration as below

cfgadd “configName”,”zoneName”

cfgsave

cfgenable “configName“
