Merge failure resolution
If the results of a fabric merge check show failures, you can often correct the issue that is causing
the failure. Most likely, changing a configuration value so that the two fabrics do not have
conflicting parameters corrects the conflict; you can then merge the fabrics successfully. Run the
fabric merge check again (as described in “Fabric merge check” on page 338) to verify that the
issue has been corrected.
Switch configuration can generally be changed by using Telnet to access the switch and using the
configure command to change the configuration, or by editing the configuration file directly, then
reapplying the configuration file.
Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for details about the configure command or any other
command used, or the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for details about the configuration file.
