switch Zoning conflict parameters
Zoning conflict parameters When merging two fabrics, zoning information from the two previously separated fabrics is merged as much as possible into the new fabric. Sometimes, zoning inconsistency can occur and zoning information cannot be merged. Segmentation due to zoning will usually be flagged by an error message that says "Fabric segmented, zone conflict" appearing in the error logs. One of the solutions is to make sure zoning information on both switches is consistent before bringing up the ISL. The other solution is to make sure that the switch we are adding to the fabric is cleared of any zoning information. This can be done by following this process: Telnet into the switch you are adding, and press Enter. Login, enter your userid and password, disable the switch with the switchdisable command. Disable the active configuration using cfgdisable, for example, cfgdisable “ITSO_CFG ”. Issue the cfgclear command to clear all zoning information. Is
