Zone and Zone Set Issues
switch#
show zone status vsan 1
VSAN: 1 default-zone:
deny
distribute: active only Interop: default
mode: basic merge-control: allow session: none
hard-zoning: enabled
Default zone:
qos: low broadcast: disabled ronly: disabled
Full Zoning Database :
Zonesets:0 Zones:0 Aliases: 0
Active Zoning Database :
Name: Database Not Available
Status:
The default zone policy of
permit
means all nodes can see all other nodes.
Deny
means all nodes are
isolated when not explicitly placed in a zone.
Step 3
Optionally, use the
zone default-zone permit
command to set the default zone policy to permit if you
are not using zoning. Go to
Step 7
.
Step 4
Use the
show zone member
command for host and storage device to verify that they are both in the same
zone. If they are not in the same zone, see the
“Resolving Host and Storage Not in the Same Zone Using
Fabric Manager” section on page 14-6
.
Step 5
Use the
show zoneset active
command to determine if the zone in
Step 4
and the host and disk appear
in the active zone set.
v_188#
show zoneset active vsan 2
zoneset name ZoneSet3 vsan 2
zone name Zone5 vsan 2
pwwn 10:00:00:00:77:99:7a:1b [Hostalias]
pwwn 21:21:21:21:21:21:21:21 [Diskalias]
Step 6
If the zone is not in the active zone set, see the
“Resolving Zone is Not in Active Zone Set Using Fabric
Manager” section on page 14-6
.
Step 7
If there is no active zone set, use the
zoneset activate
command to activate the zone set.
switch(config)# zoneset activate ZoneSet1 vsan 2.
Step 8
Verify that the host and storage can now communicate.
Resolving Host and Storage Not in the Same Zone Using the CLI
To move the host and storage device into the same zone using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the
zone name
zonename vsan-id
command to create a zone in the VSAN if necessary, and add the
host or storage into this zone.
ca-9506(config)#
zone name NewZoneName vsan 2
ca-9506(config-zone)# member pwwn 22:35:00:0c:85:e9:d2:c2
ca-9506(config-zone)# member pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:32:8b:a8
Note
The pWWNs for zone members can be obtained from the device or by issuing the
show flogi
database
vsan-id
command.
Step 2
Use the
show zone
command to verify that host and storage are now in the same zone.
switchA#
show zone
zone name NewZoneName vsan 2
