Q

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 
and zone type (soft, ACL, VPF) are 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.

 for information about adding and 

removing zone members. Refer to 

 for information 

about resetting a port.

If you deactivate the active zone set in one fabric and the 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.
