If the list of switches in the
show cfs merge status name
command output is shorter than that of the
show cfs peers name
command output, then the fabric is partitioned into multiple CFS fabrics and the
merge status may show that the merge has failed, is pending, or is waiting.
Merge failure troubleshooting
During a merge, the merge managers in the merging fabrics exchange their configuration databases with
each other. The application on one of the fabrics merges the information, decides if the merge is
successful, and informs all switches in the combined fabric of the status of the merge.
When a merge is successful, the merged database is distributed to all switches in the combined fabric
and the entire new fabric remains in a consistent state. A merge failure indicates that the merged fabrics
contain inconsistent data that could not be merged.
