Chapter 14 Troubleshooting Zones and Zone Sets
Zone and Zone Set Issues
Step 6
Use the
zoneset activate
command to activate the zone set.
switch(config)# zoneset activate ZoneSet1 vsan 2
Step 7
If you are still experiencing zone set activation failure, use the
show zone internal change
event-history vsan
<vsan-id>
command to determine the source of the zone set activation problem.
Troubleshooting Full Zone Database Synchronization Across Switches
All switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family distribute active zone sets when new E port links come up
or when a new zone set is activated in a VSAN. The zone set distribution takes effect while sending
merge requests to the adjacent switch or while activating a zone set.
Resolving Out of Sync Full Zone Database Using Fabric Manager

Step 1
Choose
Fabric
xx

zonesetname
and select the
Policies
tab.
Step 2

FullZoneSet
. If it is not, select
FullZoneSet
from the
drop-down menu.
Step 3
Click
Apply Changes
to save these changes.
Resolving an Out of Sync Full Zone Database Using the CLI
To verify if the full zone database is in sync across switches using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the
show zone status
command to verify if the distribute flag is on.
switch# config t show zone status
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:3 Zones:7 Aliases: 9
Active Zoning Database :
Name: ZoneSet1 Zonesets:1 Zones:2
Status:
This example shows that only the active zone set is distributed.
Step 2
Verify that the distribute flag is on.
