Configuring zone distribution and merge types
Complete distribution (or merge) distributes (or merges) both the active zone set and zone database.
Incomplete distribution (or merge) distributes (or merges) only the active zone set.
The configured distribution type applies to distribution operations triggered by the zoneset activate
command instead of the zoneset distribute command.
The configured merge type applies to all merge operations.
To configure zone distribution and merge types:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter VSAN view. vsan vsan-id N/A
3. Configure zone
distribution and merge
types as complete
distribution and complete
merge.
zoneset distribute full
The default setting is incomplete
distribution and incomplete merge.
Activating a zone set and distributing it to the entire
fabric
You can activate a zone set as the active zone set on a switch, distribute the active zone set to the entire
fabric, and implement access control through the active zone set. The modifications to the active zone set
do not take effect until reactivation.
The zone set to be activated must have been created and must contain at least one N_Port member. Only
one active zone set can exist in a VSAN.
When distributing the active zone set to the entire fabric, the device determines whether to carry zone
database information according to the distribution type specified by the zoneset distribute full
command.
To activate a zone set and distribute it to the entire fabric:
Step Command
1. Enter system view. system-view
2. Enter VSAN view. vsan vsan-id
3. Activate the specified zone set as the active zone
set and distribute it to the entire fabric.
zoneset activate name zoneset-name
NOTE:
Active zone set information will not contain the alias names of zone members. If a zone in the active zone
set has members with a zone alias, the non-overlapping N_Port members in the zone alias are directly
added to the zone. You can view the zone member change by using the display zoneset active command.
