A 150 event code indicates a zone merge process failed during ISL
initialization. Either an incompatible zone set was detected or a
problem occurred during delivery of a zone merge frame. This event
code always precedes a 070 event code, and represents the reply of
an adjacent fabric element in response to a zone merge frame.
Obtain supplementary event data for each 150 event code.
a. At the Hardware View (Figure 3-10 on page 3-20), click Logs
and select Event Log. The Event Log displays.
b. Examine the first 12 bytes (0 through 11) of event data.
c. Bytes 0 through 3 specify the E_Port number (00 through 23)
reporting the problem. Bytes 8 through 11 specify the failure
reason as specified in Table 3-17 on page 3-108.
