Zone merge failure recovery
When a zone merge failure occurs, the conflict that caused the failure must be resolved. You can correct a
failure due to a zone conflict by deactivating one of the active zonesets or by editing the conflicting zones
so that their membership is the same. You can deactivate the active zoneset on one fabric if the active
zoneset on the other fabric accurately defines your zoning needs. If not, you must edit the zone
memberships, and reactivate the zonesets. After correcting the zone membership, reset the isolated ports to
allow the fabrics to join.
NOTE: If you deactivate the active zoneset in one fabric and the Merge Auto Save parameter is enabled,
the active zoneset from the second fabric will propagate to the first fabric and replace all zones with
matching names in the configured zonesets.
For more information about adding and removing zone members, see ” Managing zones ” on page 44. For
more information about resetting a port, see ” Resetting a port ” on page 100.
