9Fabric Interoperability: Merging Fabrics Based on C-Series and B-Series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes
cfgDisable: no EFFECTIVE configuration
interopMode is 1
NOTE: It is required that you boot this switch to make this
change take effect

Å reboots the switch quicker, bypassing POST
Step B6: verify proper zoning configuration is in place
Check for Duplicate Zone Sets (zones): To ensure proper zoning merge and operation, verify
there are no duplicate active ZoneSets or Zones across the two fabrics that need to be merged.
If any duplicate zones exist then rename them. The following telnet commands can be used to
accomplish this. See B-series software manual for detailed explanation of these commands.
■ cfgShow
■ zoneCreate
■ cfgCreate
Verify Proper Zone Naming
Ensure that zone names adhere to the following guidelines.
■ All characters must be ASCII
■ A name must be between 1 and 64 characters in length
■ The first character of a name must be a letter. A letter is defined as either an uppercase
[A-Z] or lower case [a-z] character
■ Any character other than the first character must be either a lower case character [a-z] or
an upper case character [A-Z] or a number [0-9] or the symbol (_).
Configure Zones using only PWWNs
In the interoperability mode all the zone members must be defined using port WWNs only and
defining them in any other way is not supported. For example, we can not define zones using
FC port addresses or domain, port combinations etc. If there are any zones not defined as
stated above, redefine them using proper PWWNs.
