4.Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the fabric using the Show Config Switch command. Is each timeout value the same on every switch?

„Yes - Continue.

„No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the Set Config Switch CLI. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.

5.Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active command. Compare the zone membership between the two active zone sets. Are they the same?

„Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.

„No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

NOTE: This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active zone sets have two zones with the same name, but different membership.
