Answer 1

this is going to sound rude but don't you think it's time that you went on a Brocade course, bought a book or looked on Brocade's website for their command reference?

90%> of your queries are one-to-three clicks away from a google search - there's only ever me answering your questions (and I'm more of a Cisco MDS guy myself) - I just think you should take control of this work you have to do - get on a training course, tell you managers you need it - buy that book, get digging into Brocade's site. It's not that I don't want to help I just think you're not trying to help yourself.

Update

Literally 1 click from a google search ("brocade search alias wwn") gets me THIS.

===cut from article===

When you want to search a wwn or fcid or alias name of entire fabric:

nsallshow | grep “wwn / fcid / aliasname”

When you want search in all switches except the switch from where you enter the command:

nscamshow | grep ” wwn / fcid / aliasname”

When you want to search in local switch alone:

nsshow | grep ” wwn / fcid / aliasname”

Hopefully that might help - oh and you owe me extra details in question 146648
