Chapter 14 Troubleshooting Zones and Zone Sets Zone Merge Failure Send documentation comments to [email protected] Resolving Mismatched Default Zone Policies Using the CLI To resolve mismatched default zone policies using the CLI, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Issue the show zone status command. v_188# 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:5 Zones:18 Aliases: 11 Active Zoning Database : Name: ZoneSet1 Zonesets:1 Zones:2 Status: This example shows the default zone policy is deny, and the zone mode is basic. If you are using basic zoning, follow these steps: a. Repeat Step 1 for all switches in the VSAN to verify that they have the same zone mode. Use the zone mode basic command to change any switches that are not in basic mode. b. Use the zone default-zone command on each switch in the VSAN to set the same default zone policy. If you are using enhanced zoning, follow these steps: a. Use the show version command on all switches in the VSAN to verify that all switches are capable of working in the enhanced mode. All switches must have Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) or later. If one or more switches are not capable of working in enhanced mode, then your request to move to enhanced mode is rejected. b. Use the zone default-zone command to set the default zone policy. c. Use the zone mode enhanced vsan-id command to set the operation mode to enhanced zoning mode. By doing so, you will automatically start a session, acquire a fabric wide lock, distribute the active and full zoning database using the enhanced zoning data structures, distribute zoning policies, and then release the lock. All switches in the VSAN then move to the enhanced zoning mode. switch(config)# zone mode enhanced vsan 3000 Note After moving from basic zoning to enhanced zoning (or vice versa), we recommend that you use the copy running-config startup-config command to save the running configuration. Zone Merge Failure A zone merge request may fail because of the following configuration issues: • Too many zone sets • Too many aliases OL-9285-05 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Troubleshooting Guide, Release 3.x 14-13

Chapter 14
Troubleshooting Zones and Zone Sets
Zone Merge Failure
Resolving Mismatched Default Zone Policies Using the CLI
To resolve mismatched default zone policies using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Issue the
show zone status
command.
v_188# 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:5
Zones:18 Aliases: 11
Active Zoning Database :
Name: ZoneSet1
Zonesets:1
Zones:2
Status:
This example shows the default zone policy is deny, and the zone mode is basic.
Step 2
If you are using basic zoning, follow these steps:
a.
Repeat
Step 1
for all switches in the VSAN to verify that they have the same zone mode. Use the
zone mode basic
command to change any switches that are not in basic mode.
b.
Use the
zone default-zone
command on each switch in the VSAN to set the same default zone
policy.
Step 3
If you are using enhanced zoning, follow these steps:
a.
Use the
show version
command on all switches in the VSAN to verify that all switches are capable
of working in the enhanced mode.
All switches must have Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) or later. If one or more switches are
not capable of working in enhanced mode, then your request to move to enhanced mode is rejected.
b.
Use the
zone default-zone
command to set the default zone policy.
c.
Use the
zone mode enhanced
vsan-id
command to set the operation mode to enhanced zoning
mode.
By doing so, you will automatically start a session, acquire a fabric wide lock, distribute the active
and full zoning database using the enhanced zoning data structures, distribute zoning policies, and
then release the lock. All switches in the VSAN then move to the enhanced zoning mode.
switch(config)#
zone mode enhanced vsan 3000
Note
After moving from basic zoning to enhanced zoning (or vice versa), we recommend that you use
the
copy running-config startup-config
command to save the running configuration.
Zone Merge Failure
A zone merge request may fail because of the following configuration issues:
Too many zone sets
Too many aliases
