Alias names must be unique and must not resemble valid SAS addresses (16
hexadecimal characters that start with the number 5). The only special characters you
can use in an alias are pound (#), dash, and underscore. The tree displays aliases only for
the devices presently in the domain. To see aliases for other devices, use the
View/Delete Aliases command.
3.6.1.2 View/Delete Aliases Use the View/Delete Aliases command to display a list of all aliases associated with the
focused domain, including aliases assigned to devices that are not presently in the
domain. You also can also this command to delete aliases.

3.6.2 Automatically Configure Zone
Groups and Zone Sets
Zoning wizards simplify zone set creation. The Automatically Configure Zone Groups
and Zone Sets commands include three wizards that can automate the configuration of
zone groups and zone sets.
3.6.2.1 Initiator Isolation Wizard The Initiator Isolation Wizard creates a zone set that isolates initiators from one another,
while exposing all targets to each other. Use the Initiator Isolation Wizard to
automatically configure a zone set and two associated zone groups based on a
snapshot of the current domain. Each window of the wizard includes instructions to
guide you through the configuration process.
After it prompts you to type the zone set name (maximum of 28 characters), the wizard
checks the domain to determine if any initiators or targets are attached to the ZPSDS at
the same point and share a common ZPSDS entry point. If so, the topology cannot
support this zoning configuration, and the wizard terminates with an error message.
