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
and zone type (soft, ACL, VPF) are 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 3-26 for information about adding and
removing zone members. Refer to ”Resetting a Port” on page 5-14 for information
about resetting a port.
Note: If you deactivate the active zone set in one fabric and the 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.
