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.

 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 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.
