My notes, things I have learned, and documentation I have created.

I have fumbled around long enough trying to remember these commands at various points in my career, so I decided to write down a few of the commands needed to create a SAN zone and enable a config.

alicreate “aliasname “, “WWID“

zonecreate “zonename”, “aliasname; aliasname; etc”

cfgcreate “configname“, “zonename1; zonename2; etc“)

cfgsave “cfgname“

cfgenable “cfgname“

Commands to show information configured above:

alishow
zoneshow
cfgshow
switchshow

Because I never remember the syntax for 2003 and later:

Reboot:
shutdown /r /c “comment” /t time

Shutdown:
shutdown /s /c “comment” /t time

Add a /m computername to reboot/shutdown a remote server.
