Step C5: Verify proper Zoning Configuration is in place
Check for Duplicate Zone Sets (zones): To ensure proper zoning merge and operation, verify
there are no duplicate active ZoneSets or Zones across the two fabrics that need to be merged.
If there exists any rename them. You can verify zoning information by using the “show zone”
command.
For example, to verify all active zones …
MDS9509# show zoneset active vsan 1
zoneset name mdscore vsan 1
zone name vz1 vsan 1
* fcid 0x630500 [pwwn 50:06:01:60:88:02:90:cb]
* fcid 0x610400 [pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:24:3d:90]
zone name vz2 vsan 1
* fcid 0x630400 [pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:24:3f:75]
* fcid 0x6514e2 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a7:ca:b7]
* fcid 0x6514e4 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a7:c7:e0]
* fcid 0x6514e8 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a7:c7:df]
zone name vz3 vsan 1
* fcid 0x651500 [pwwn 10:00:00:e0:69:f0:43:9f]
* fcid 0x6105dc [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:31:6d]
* fcid 0x6105e0 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:24:7b]
* fcid 0x6105e1 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:22:ea]
* fcid 0x6105e2 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:2e:65]
* fcid 0x6105e4 [pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:28:26:0d]
zone name $default_zone$ vsan 1
Verify Proper Zone Naming
Ensure that zone names adhere to the following guidelines.
■ All characters must be ASCII
■ A name must be between 1 and 64 characters in length
■ The first character of a name must be a letter. A letter is defined as either an uppercase
[A-Z] or lower case [a-z] character
■ Any character other than the first character must be either a lower case character [a-z] or
an upper case character [A-Z] or a number [0-9] or the symbol (_).
