Cisco MDS 9148 fcalias PWWN update

Question

One of the network/hba modules died on one of our blade and we had to replace it. Because of this I need to update the PWWN for the FCALIAS. It's been a while but I think it is simple as getting in to the fcalias, adding the new pwwn and removing the old one. Can someone please verify or correct?
config t
fcalias name BLADE_ESX_HBA1 vsan 2
  no pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:00:60
     pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:d0:60
Any suggestions or best practices are welcome! thanks.

Hi Dennis,
If zone mode is "basic":
switch# show zone status vsan 2
VSAN: 2 default-zone: deny distribute: active only Interop: default
    mode: basic merge-control: allow
    session: none
    hard-zoning: enabled broadcast: unsupported
    smart-zoning: disabled
    rscn-format: fabric-address
switch# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# fcalias name BLADE_ESX_HBA1 vsan 2
switch(config-fcalias)# no member pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:00:60
switch(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:d0:60
switch(config-fcalias)# end
switch# show fcalias vsan 2
fcalias name BLADE_ESX_HBA1 vsan 2
  pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:d0:60
switch#  copy running-config startup-config
If zone mode is "enhanced":
switch# show zone status v 2
VSAN: 2 default-zone: deny distribute: full Interop: default
    mode: enhanced merge-control: allow
    session: none
    hard-zoning: enabled broadcast: unsupported
    smart-zoning: disabled
    rscn-format: fabric-address
switch# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# fcalias name BLADE_ESX_HBA1 vsan 2
switch(config-fcalias)# no member pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:00:60
Enhanced zone session has been created. Please 'commit' the changes when done.
switch(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:d0:60
switch(config-fcalias)# exit
switch(config)# zone commit vsan 2
switch(config)# exit
switch# show fcalias vsan 2
fcalias name BLADE_ESX_HBA1 vsan 2
  pwwn 10:00:00:00:00:00:d0:60
switch#  copy running-config startup-config
