CIM_ERR_FAILED When Trying to Activate a Zone Set Using McDATA SWAPI

When the user tries to activate a zone set using McDATA SWAPI, the operation may return CIM_ERR_FAILED with one of the following detailed messages:

Cannot activate zone set. SWAPI Handle is not valid for fabric

Cannot activate zone set. Active zone set information is out of date for fabric

There is no active SWAPI connection for fabric Fabric is not in the cache

These error messages indicate that the SWAPI connection to the EFCM managing the fabric is no longer valid, or the active zone information was changed on the fabric without using the management server. The management server does not activate a zone set under these conditions.

(Discovery from HP SE only) To fix this problem, use the Test button on the discovery screen to check the status of the SWAPI connection. If necessary, re-discover the EFCM to re-establish the SWAPI connection.

Once the connection is working, the provisioning operation should succeed. If it continues to fail because the active zone set information is out of date, do a Get Details for this element to update the zoning information.

SNMP Setting Through a Proxy

This SNMP setting through a proxy does not let you manage or access information about zones, zone sets or zone aliases.

This option is required if you want to discover McDATA or Connectrix switches through a proxy using the SNMP provider. You can use this option with EMC Connectrix™ Manager and Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (EFC) Manager to contact the switch.

Step 1 - Verify the Discovery Setting for Switches Is Set to SNMP

By default the discovery settings for McDATA and Connectrix switches is set to SNMP. If you believe it has been changed to SWAPI, you can perform the following steps to change it back to SNMP.

1.Click Options > Storage Essentials > Manage Product Health. Then, click Advanced in the Disk Space tree.

2.Click Show Default Properties at the bottom of the page.
