Hi,
Since there is no zoning with FA 7F, the wwn wont be login to this hence no need to remove login from 7F;1.Except last step all are fine.

You can follow these steps
Once you zone new WWN with 7F:1, Add the new WWN in the existing IG group
symaccess -sid xxxx -type initiator -name initiator_IG -WWN 1xxxxxxxxx add
make sure the LUNs are visible through new HBA from server side.
rename the WWN
symaccess -sid xxxx rename -wwn XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -alias HOST/HBAX
and If you want to remove the masking of old WWN through 7F:1,delete the zone for that and remove the login

what i understood is you are going to add a new HBA and not going to do
anything with existing one.
if you zone new HBA with 7F:1 it will login through only through 7F not
through 8F.
suppose current HBA is 0 and which is logged in through 8F:1 and 7F:1 and
you are adding HBA 1 now.so you will zone it with 7F( assuming you already
done with physical HBA connectivity to the switch port) and it will login
in 7F then you can rename it with above command.

Can you expand on the below statement if I rename the -wwn will it not effect 8F:1??
How can I rename only for 7F:1???

Please see the first statment clearly below, 7F;1 and 8F:1 are masked with same WWN, (but zoned only to 8F:1, no zoning for 7F:1)
in this scenario what are the next steps, is that just unmasking devices using the old WWN and 7F:1 will do right?
symaccess -sid xxx list assignment -dev 0D12
Device Identifier Type Dir:P
------ ---------------- ----- ----------------
0D12 10000000c00999 FIBRE FA-8F:1,FA-7F:1
My assumption of steps is as below
Zone the new WWN with 7F:1
Add the new WWn to the existing IG group using following command
symaccess -sid xxxx -type initiator -name nameofig add -wwn
remove the masking as below.
symaccess -sid xxxx remove -login -wwn -dirport 7F:1
