ZONE-1005
111
In session-based zoning, the zone enforcement is checked by the software. In hardware-enforced
zoning, zone or alias members are defined using <domain, portarea> exclusively or using WWNs
exclusively: that is, using one method or the other to define all objects in the zoning database. If the
devices on the port are defined by a mixture of port IDs and WWNs, the zone enforcement is
session based. If the S_ID list of the hardware-enforced zoning overflows (over the S_ID limit), the
hardware zone enforcement changes to session-based zoning.
Recommended
Action
No action is required.
Severity INFO
ZONE-1005
Message <timestamp>, [ZONE-1005], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, HARD &amp;
SOFT zones(<Zone name>, <Zone name>) definitions overlap.
Probable Cause Indicates a port is zoned with mixed devices (WWN and <domain, portarea>). During zoning
database cross checking, it is detected that either:
• A port zone member is also listed as a member of a Mixed zone.
• A world-wide name (WWN) zone member is also specified as a member of a Mixed zone.
You should use hard zone enforcement whenever possible. Hard zones are more secure than
"session-based hard zones". Both types of zones will trap a port login (PLOGI), but hard zones will
filter out the I/O frames which &amp;ldquo;session-based&amp;rdquo; hard zones do not.
Recommended
Action
If hard zone enforcement is preferred, edit the zoning database to have the port zoned with devices
defined as either WWN or defined as <domain, portarea>, but do not mix the methods used to
define these zone members.
Severity INFO
ZONE-1006
Message <timestamp>, [ZONE-1006], <sequence-number>,, WARNING, <system-name>, WARNING -
WWN (<WWN number>)in HARD PORT zone <zone_name>.
Probable Cause Indicates that one or more devices are zoned as world wide name (WWN) devices and also zoned
as <domain, portarea> devices. The devices are used to specify zone members over separate
zones.
Recommended
Action
If hardware zoning enforcement is preferred, edit the zoning database to have the device zoned
using only one specification type, either WWN or <domain, portarea>.
