Zone Merge Failure Recovery
When a zone merge failure occurs, the conflict that caused the failure must be resolved. You can correct a failure due to a zone conflict by deactivating one of the active zone sets or by editing the conflicting zones so that their membership is the same. You can deactivate the active zone set on one fabric if the active zone set on the other fabric accurately defines your zoning needs. If not, you must edit the zone memberships, and reactivate the zone sets. After correcting the zone membership, reset the isolated ports to allow the fabrics to join.
NOTE: If you deactivate the active zone set in one fabric and the Interop Auto Save parameter is enabled, the active zone set from the second fabric will propagate to the first fabric and replace all zones with matching names in the configured zone sets.
If the zone sets to merge have the same Zone A that only differ in the type of zone (soft vs. ACL), the zone sets will merge. If this is a 2 switch fabric, Switch 1 will state that Zone A is soft and Switch 2 will state that Zone A is ACL.
