To resolve the policy conflict, manually distribute the database you want to use to the switch with the mismatched database. Until the conflict is resolved commands such as fddcfg --fabwideset and secpolicy activate are blocked. Non-matching fabric-wide consistency policies You may encounter one of the following two scenarios: Merging a fabric with a strict policy to a fabric with an absent, tolerant, or non-matching strict policy. The merge fails and the ports are disabled. Table 38 shows merges that are not supported.

Table 39 has a matrix of merging fabrics with tolerant and absent policies. 134 Configuring advanced security features
