Zoning Symptom Probable cause and recommended action Fabric segmentation is caused by a "type mismatch". Occurs when the name of a zone object in one fabric is also used for a different type of zone object in the other fabric. A zone object is any device in a zone. Symptom Probable cause and recommended action Fabric segmentation is caused by a "content mismatch". Occurs when the definition in one fabric is different from the definition of a zone object with the same name in the other fabric. Zone conflicts Zone conflicts can be resolved by saving a configuration file with the configUpload command, examining the zoning information in the file, and performing a cut and paste operation so that the configuration information matches in the fabrics being merged. After examining the configuration file, you can choose to resolve zone conflicts by using the cfgDisable command followed by the cfgClear command on the incorrectly configured segmented fabric, then enter the cfgSave command followed by the portDisable and portEnable commands on one of the ISL ports that connects the fabrics. This causes a merge, making the fabric consistent with the correct configuration. ATTENTION Be careful using the cfgClear command because it deletes the defined configuration. Table 13 summarizes commands that are useful for debugging zoning issues.
