ATTENTION
Be careful using the cfgClear command because it deletes the defined configuration.
Table 12 summarizes commands that are useful for debugging zoning issues.
For more information about setting up zoning on your switch, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s
Guide. Also, see the Fabric OS Command Reference for details about zoning commands.
You can correct zone conflicts by using the cfgClear command to clear the zoning database.
ATTENTION
The cfgClear command is a disruptive procedure.
