Example of warning message
switch: admin> cfgsave
WARNING!!!
The changes you are attempting to save will render the
Effective configuration and the Defined configuration inconsistent.
The inconsistency will result in different Effective Zoning
configurations for switches in the fabric if a zone merge or
HA failover happens. To avoid inconsistency it is recommended to
commit the configurations using the 'cfgenable' command.
Do you want to proceed with saving the Defined
zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] yes
If you enter yes, and the cfgSave operation completes successfully, then the
following RASlog message [ZONE-1062] will be posted. .
[ZONE-1062], 620/181, FID 128, WARNING, sw0, Defined and Effective zone
configurations are inconsistent, ltime:2012/09/03-23:18:30:983609
You can then either re-enable the updated configuration or revert to the older
configuration. If there is no impact to the effective configuration with the latest
update to the defined configuration, then the following message will be
displayed.
“You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This action will only save
the changes on Defined configuration.
Do you want to proceed?” (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
