Fabric Merge Conflicts Related to Zoning
The following sections cover fabric merge conflicts related to zoning.
Prevention
To prevent fabric segmentations, refer to the
HP StorageWorks Zoning Version
3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
for setup information. In addition, fabric merges can be
tested prior to merging using Fabric Manager. Refer to the HP StorageWorks
Fabric Manager Version 3.0.x User Guide for more information.
There are three types of zone configuration discrepancies that can cause
segmentation as described in
Table 16 .
Basic Zone Merge Correction Procedure
Caution: This is a disruptive procedure. To correct a merge conflict without
disrupting the fabric, see “ Detailed Zone Merge Correction Procedure ” on
page 208 or the HP StorageWorks Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide .
To quickly correct a fabric merge problem due to incompatible zones, perform the
following steps:
1. Determine which switches have the incorrect configuration and log into the
switch as admin.
Table 16: Types of Zone Discrepancies
Conflict Cause Description
Configuration mismatch Occurs when Zoning is enabled in both fabrics and
the zone configurations that are enabled are different
in each fabric.
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.
Content mismatch Occurs when the definition of a zone object in one
fabric is different from the definition of a zone object
with the same name in the other fabric.
