Chapter 38 Configuring and Managing Zones
Compacting the Zone Database
Verifying Enhanced Zone Information
The following example shows how to display the zone status for a specified VSAN:
switch# show zone status vsan 2
Compacting the Zone Database
You can delete excess zones and compact the zone database for the VSAN.
Note A merge failure occurs when a switch supports more than 2000 zones per VSAN but its neighbor does
not. Also, zone set activation can fail if the switch has more than 2000 zones per VSAN and not all
switches in the fabric support more than 2000 zones per VSAN.
To delete zones and compact the zone database for a VSAN, perform this task:
Zone and Zone Set Analysis
To better manage the zones and zone sets on your switch, you can display zone and zone set information
using the show zone analysis command.
The following example shows how to display full zoning analysis:
switch# show zone analysis vsan 1
The following example shows how to display active zoning analysis:
switch# show zone analysis active vsan 1
See the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch Command Reference for the description of the information
