Brocade: Zoning setup

A new Brocade optical switch has a default zone enabled. If it is disabled with the
"defzone --noaccess" command, then it will be necessary to fine-tune the zones for the safe operation of initiators with targets.

3. Removing a member:
aliremove "name", "member[; member...]"

4. Removing an alias:
alidelete "name"
