RESOLVING CONFLICTS
When you merge two fabrics with different iSCSI configurations, a conflict will result. If there is a
conflict, the database will not be merged and you must resolve the conflict. The iscsiCfg
--show
fabric command displays the “out of sync” state. The rest of the switches will function normally,
however, since there is no segmentation of E_Ports as a result of discovery domain set database
conflicts.
To resolve iSCSI-related configuration conflicts
1. Connect to the switch and log in.
2. Enter the iscsiCfg
--show fabric command as follows:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show fabric
Switch ID Switch WWN Switch State iSNSC
220 10:00:00:05:1e:36:0d:f8 Out of Sync Disabled
* 1 10:00:00:60:69:e0:01:56 - Disabled
Aggregated iSCSI database state for fabric: Out of Sync
3. Verify the iSCSI configuration on each switch to find the switch that has the database you want
to use. On each switch enter the iscsiCfg
--show ddset command as follows:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show ddset
Number of records found: 1
Name: ddset-engineering
State/Status: Enabled/Committed
Num. members: 1
4. On the switch with the database you want to use fabric-wide, enter the iscsiCfg --commit all
command with the -f option as follows:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --commit all -f
This will commit ALL database changes made to all iSCSI switches in fabric.
This could be a long-running operation.
Continue (yes, y, no, n) [n]: y
The operation completed successfully.
5. To verify that the conflict has been resolved, enter the iscsiCfg --show fabric command as
follows:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show fabric
Switch ID Switch WWN Switch State iSNSC
220 10:00:00:05:1e:36:0d:f8 In Sync Disabled
* 1 10:00:00:60:69:e0:01:56 -- Disabled
Aggregated iSCSI database state for fabric: In Sync
