A. B. C. D.A.
In Cisco Storage Area Networking (SAN), a device alias is a user-defined name assigned to a Fibre Channel (FC) device in the fabric to simplify the identification and management of the device. Device aliases can be renamed or deleted, and new aliases can be added.
If a device alias is renamed and then the original device alias name is used in an add command in the same session, the result depends on whether the original device alias still exists or has been deleted.
If the original device alias still exists, the add command using the original name will fail and will be moved to the rejected list. This is because device aliases must be unique in the fabric, and the original name is already in use. The rename command will execute successfully and the device alias will be updated with the new name.
If the original device alias has been deleted, both the rename command and the add command using the original name will execute successfully. The rename command will update the device alias with the new name, and the add command will create a new device alias with the original name.
Therefore, the answer to this question is A. Both commands execute successfully if the original device alias still exists, and D. The rename command is moved to the rejected list and the add command executes successfully if the original device alias has been deleted.
