UNSOLVED
aliascreate, zonecreate are not creating anything
the result of alicreate "ESXI02_p1", "10:00:00:10:9b:33:81:81" is null
this is on 8.0 as both Admin and Root.
- perform an alishow before the command
- run the alicreate
- perform an alishow after the command = no change
additionally
- run alicreate "alias" "wwn"
- run zonecreate "alias" "members"
- run cfgadd "cfg" "zonealias"
- run cfgsave "cfg"
- run cfgenable - tells me the zone "zonealias" doesn't exist
In both Root and Admin
do I have to "switchdisable" first? I don't have that captured in any of my previous putty logs.

Hello BlairTVD,
I am glad that you opened a support case for this as that is what I was going to suggest next as it is strange that you can’t create alias using the steps provided.
It is a 6505 running v8 FOS
And those instructions in the link are the instructions that result in 0 changes to the switch configuration.
Alicreate does not create aliases
zonecreate does not create zones
cfgadd does not add zones to the cfg
We have a ticket open and completed the round of diagnostics with the technician, now waiting for an engineer.
Something similar happened with a SAN-24B of a similar age but neither Broadcom nor IBM would commit to a diagnosis.

Hi Blair,
I'm trying to find the ticket, and see what progress is made and what the actual problem is. Can you PM me the SR number.
thanks,
Ed

Hello BlairTVD,
Here is a link to a KB that maybe of assistance. https://dell.to/3Zh1UyZ
Which connectrix switch do you have as you didn’t state that in your post? I am guessing that you are on version 8 FOS as you did state that.
