92 ZONE-1005 In session-based zoning, the zone enforcement is checked by the software. In hardware-enforced zoning, zone or alias members are defined using exclusively or using WWNs exclusively: that is, using one method or the other to define all objects in the zoning database. If the devices on the port are defined by a mixture of port IDs and WWNs, the zone enforcement is session based. If the S_ID list of the hardware-enforced zoning overflows (over the S_ID limit), the hardware zone enforcement changes to session-based zoning. Recommended No action is required. Action Severity INFO ZONE-1005 Message , [ZONE-1005], ,, INFO, , HARD & SOFT zones(, ) definitions overlap. Probable Cause Indicates a port is zoned with mixed devices (world wide name (WWN) and ). During zoning database cross checking, it is detected that either: • A port zone member is also listed as a member of a Mixed zone, • A world wide name (WWN) zone member is also specified as a member of a Mixed zone. You should use hard zone enforcement whenever possible. Hard zones are more secure than "session-based hard zones". Both types of zones will trap a port login (PLOGI), but hard zones will filter out the I/O frames which"session-based" hard zones do not. Recommended Action If hard zone enforcement is preferred, edit the zoning database to have the port zoned with devices defined as either WWN or defined as , but do not mix the methods used to define these zone members. Severity INFO ZONE-1006 Message , [ZONE-1006], ,, WARNING, , WARNING WWN() in HARD PORT zone . Probable Cause Indicates that one or more devices are zoned as world wide name (WWN) devices and also zoned as devices. The devices are used to specify zone members over separate zones. Recommended If hardware zoning enforcement is preferred, edit the zoning database to have the device zoned Action using only one specification type, either WWN or .
