Inconsistencies between the defined and effective configurations
If you edit zone objects in the defined configuration that also exist in the effective configuration and then issue the cfgSave command, a
warning message stating that a mismatch is observed between the defined and effective configurations is posted, and you are asked to
confirm that you want cfgSave to continue. If you enter "y", then the updated configuration will be saved; if you enter "n", then the updated
configuration will be discarded.
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.
If the update includes changes to one or more traffic isolation
zones, you must issue the 'cfgenable' command for the changes
to take effect.
Do you want to save the Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no]
