Identifying port zone conflicts
Fabric Manager identifies ports that cannot communicate with each other due to zone conflicts. Zone
conflicts are identified as:
• Port zone configurations: If two ports are not defined in the same zone, they cannot communicate with
each other. Fabric Manager can analyze only port communication conflicts based on zones defined by
port name (not WWN).
• Blocked port communication: You can block ports from communicating with each other using the block
feature in the Edit CUP Port Connectivity Configuration-Active Configuration dialog box. By clicking on
a combination of ports in the graph, you can block the port connectivity.
To display an analysis of ports that cannot communicate with each other based on the criteria mentioned
above, you can click the Analyze Zone Conflicts button in the Edit CUP Port Connectivity
Configuration-Active Configuration dialog box. Fabric Manager displays a report of zone conflicts
highlighted in red.
NOTE: The Analyze Zone Conflicts feature supports only switches running Fabric OS 4.4.0 or later.
To analyze port zone conflicts:
1. Display the Edit CUP Port Connectivity Configuration-Active Configuration dialog box for the active
configuration, as described in ”Activating the current port connectivity configuration” on page 202, or
for a stored configuration, as described in ”Activating a stored port connectivity configuration” on
page 203.
2. Optional: Click the check box for a combination of ports that you want to block. You can block as
many ports as you want.
3. Click Analyze Zone Conflict.
The Edit CUP Port Connectivity Configuration-Active Configuration dialog box shows zone conflicts
highlighted in red.

2. Click Switches.
The Switches view is displayed.
