Chapter 14 Troubleshooting Zones and Zone Sets
Zone Merge Failure
Deactivating a Zone Set and Restarting the Zone Merge Process Using Fabric Manager
To deactivate a zone set and restart the zone merge process using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1
Choose
Zone > Deactivate
Zone Set to deactivate the zone set configuration.
Caution
This will disrupt traffic and cause the MDS 9000 switch to lose connectivity with the network.
Step 2
Choose
Interfaces > FC Physica
l and select
down
from the Status Admin drop-down menu to shut
down the connection to the zone to be merged. You may see the following system messages:
Nov 19 10:26:10 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_DOWN_CHANNEL_ADMIN_DOWN: Interface fc1/14 is down
(Channel admin down)
Nov 19 10:26:10 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_DOWN_CHANNEL_ADMIN_DOWN: Interface fc1/15 is down
(Channel admin down)
Nov 19 10:26:10 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_DOWN_CHANNEL_ADMIN_DOWN: Interface fc1/16 is down
(Channel admin down)
Nov 19 10:26:10 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_DOWN_PORT_CHANNEL_MEMBERS_DOWN: Interface
port-channel 1 is down (No operational members)
Nov 19 10:26:10 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_DOWN_ADMIN_DOWN: Interface port-channel 1 is down
(Administratively down)
Nov 19 10:26:10 switch4 %LOG_PORT_CHANNEL-5-FOP_CHANGED: port-channel 1: first operational
port changed from fc1/16 to none
Step 3
Choose
Interfaces > FC Physica
l and select
up
from the Status Admin drop-down menu to enable the
connection to the zone to be merged. You may see the following system messages:
Nov 19 10:28:11 switch4 %LOG_PORT_CHANNEL-5-FOP_CHAN
GED: port-channel 1: first operational port changed from none to fc1/15
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_UP: Interface port-channel 1 is up in mode TE
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_UP: Interface fc1/14, vsan 1 is up
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_UP: Interface fc1/15, vsan 1 is up
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_UP: Interface fc1/16, vsan 1 is up
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_UP: Interface fc1/14, vsan 1 is up
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_UP: Interface fc1/15, vsan 1 is up
Nov 19 10:28:21 switch4 %LOG_PORT-5-IF_TRUNK_UP: Interface fc1/16, vsan 1 is up
Step 4
Choose
Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database
to verify the active
zone set configuration.
After deactivating the zone set onthe first switch and performing a shutdown followed by a no shutdown
on the ISL that connects it to the second switch, the zone merge is processed again. Because the first
switch has no active zone set, it learns the active zone set from the second switch during the zone merge
process.
Deactivating a Zone Set and Restarting the Zone Merge Process Using the CLI
To deactivate a zone set and restart the zone merge process using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the
no zoneset activate name
zoneset-name
vsan-id
command to deactivate the zone set
configuration from the switch:
Caution
This will disrupt traffic and cause the MDS 9000 switch to lose connectivity with the network.
