Hi,
I am a newbie to san environment. i have a basic question about zone changes.
how do we change wwn for a zone after replacing faulted hba?
i read something like this.. we need to create a clone of the active zoneset and change the wwn and activate it. my understanding is correct?( is there any command for rename the fcalias memeber?)
is there any change in the above procedure for fcaliases or device aliases?
Thanks,
Uma

First you need to enter config mode and then remove WWN for old HBA and add WWN for new HBA and re-activate zone set, no need to create new zones.
config
fcalias name AliasSample vsan 3
no member pwwn 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab <- old HBA
member pwwn 10:00:00:25:43:6767:34
after this activate zoneset and you are done.

Thanks Dynamoxx.
can you please give me instructions for device alias for the same case.
Thanks.

config
no device-alias name Device1 pwwn Pwwn1
device-alias name Device1 pwwn Pwwn2
dev commit
verify on zone and zoneset
show zone
zone commit vsan X
show zoneset active vsan X
zoneset activate name zoneset-X vsan X
I do this on my mds 9509, somehow it works...

You need to be running Enhanced Device Alias for the zone change to be automatic. In enhanced mode, the zone process tracks the device alias database and if s PWWN changes as a result of a device alias update, it will be reflected in the zones. The zoneset must still be reactivated manually for the new PWWN to be distributed as part of the zoneset. This mode was put into place to make is easier to update many zones if a single hba needs to be replaced.
The step when using enhanced mode device alias
-update the device alias database to remove failed pwwn
-update device alias database to add new pwwn (alias name must be the same)
-issue device aliase commit to make the change effective
-reactivate the currently active zoneset for the vsan where the new pwwn resides
If the fabric is running device alias in basic mode, you will need to manully edit the zones to remove then add in the device alias once it has been changed, and then reactivate the zoneset.
To check device alias mode, issue this command.
show device-alias status
The mode will be 'basic' or 'enhanced'
-hope this helps,
Mike
