The application is not
performing zoning discovery
very often.
Zoning discovery is performed once at startup,
and then once every two hours during routine
discovery. If the Zoning dialog box is open,
zoning discovery is performed during every
polling cycle. It continues to discover at the
increased speed for 30 minutes before it returns
to the default value.
When activating a large zone
set on a two-switch fabric on
UNIX platforms, an error
message displays stating
“Failed to perform the
requested zoning action: Failed
to zone due to exception
COM.hp.hafmecc.HafmUnavai
lableException.”
Although the error message states that the
requested zoning action failed, the zone set
correctly activated. Wait for the next zoning
polling to occur.
This issue only occurs on UNIX systems.
Zoning activation message
displays for a long time, but
zone set is not activated.
Telnet zoning can take a long time. To improve
speed, open the Discover Setup dialog box and
add the HAFM IP address for HP switches to the
Selected Individual Addresses list.
When opening the Zoning
dialog box from a particular
switch or fabric, the message
“Cannot zone the selected
device or fabric” displays.
The application may not have been able to log in
to the fabric due to another active session. Verify
that there isn’t another active session.
The application may not support zoning on any
of the discovered products.
