Zone conflicts

For more information about setting up zoning on your switch, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s
Guide.
You can correct zone conflicts by using the cfgClear command to clear the zoning database.
ATTENTION
The cfgClear command is a disruptive procedure.
Correcting a fabric merge problem quickly
1. Determine which switches have the incorrect zoning configuration; then, log in to the switches
as admin.
2. Enter the switchDisable command on all problem switches.
3. Enter the cfgDisable command on each switch.
4. Enter the cfgClear command on each switch.
5. Enter the cfgSave command on each switch to commit the change.
ATTENTION
The cfgClear command clears the zoning database on the switch where the command is run.
6. Enter the switchEnable command on each switch once the zoning configuration has been
cleared.
This forces the zones to merge and populates the switches with the correct zoning database.
The fabrics then merge.
