Zone Merge Failure Recovery
When a zone merge failure occurs, the conflict that caused the failure must be
resolved. You can correct a failure due to a zone conflict by deactivating one of
the active zone sets or by editing the conflicting zones so that their membership is
the same. You can deactivate the active zone set on one fabric if the active zone
set on the other fabric accurately defines your zoning needs. If not, you must edit
the zone memberships, and reactivate the zone sets. After correcting the zone
membership, reset the isolated ports to allow the fabrics to join.
Refer to ”Managing Zones” on page 3-50 for information about adding and
removing zone members. Refer to ”Resetting a Port” on page 5-16 for information
about resetting a port.
Note: If you deactivate the active zone set in one fabric and the Interop Auto
Save parameter is enabled, the active zone set from the second fabric
will propagate to the first fabric and replace all zones with matching
names in the configured zone sets.
If the zone sets to merge have the same Zone A that only differ in the
type of zone (soft vs. ACL), the zone sets will merge. If this is a 2
switch fabric, Switch 1 will state that Zone A is soft and Switch 2 will
state that Zone A is ACL.
