Checking for zoning problems

1. Enter the cfgActvShow command to determine if zoning is enabled.

∙ If zoning is enabled, it is possible that the problem is being caused by zoning enforcement (for example, two devices in

different zones cannot detect each other).

∙ If zoning is disabled, check the default zone mode by entering the defZone --show command. If it is no access, change it

to all access. To modify default zone mode from no access to all access, enter the defZone --all command, and then the

cfgSave command.

2. Confirm that the specific edge devices that must communicate with each other are in the same zone.

∙ If they are not in the same zone and zoning is enabled, proceed to step 3.

∙ If they are in the same zone, perform the following tasks:

– Enter the portCamShow command on the host port to verify that the target is present.

– Enter the portCamShow command on the target.

– Enter the nsZoneMember command with the port ID for the zoned devices on the host and target to determine

whether the name server is aware that these devices are zoned together.

3. Resolve zoning conflicts by putting the devices into the same zoning configuration.

4. Verify that no configuration is active by using the cfgActvShow command. Enter the defZone --show command to display the

current state of the zone access mode and the access level. The defZone command sets the default zone access mode to No

Access.

switch:admin> defzone --show

Default Zone Access Mode

committed - No Access

transaction - No Transaction

Refer to Zone conflicts on page 77 for additional information.

Gathering additional information

Collect the data from a supportSave -n command. Then collect the data from the cfgTransShow command. For the port having the

problem, collect the data from the filterPortShow command.
