Chapter 14 Troubleshooting Zones and Zone Sets
Troubleshooting Checklist
For zone configuration problems, use the following helpful tools:
• Cisco Fabric Analyzer. (See the “Cisco Fabric Analyzer” section on page B-25.)
• Cisco Fabric Manager and CLI system messages. (See the System Messages, page 1-10.)
• Log messages (See the “Troubleshooting with Logs” section on page 1-13.)
Troubleshooting Zone Configuration Issues with Fabric Manager
Much of the information accessible through Fabric Manager can also be accessed using the CLI. (See
the “Troubleshooting Zone Configuration Issues with the CLI” section on page 14-2.)
To verify which devices belong to the active zone set on a specific VSAN using Fabric Manager, follow
these steps:
Step 1 Choose Tools > Edit Full Zone Database. You see the Select VSAN dialog box.
Step 2 Select a VSAN and click OK. You see the Edit Local Full Zone Database dialog box for the selected
VSAN.
Step 3 Click Zones in the left pane. The right pane lists the members for each zone.
Note The active zone set appears in bold. If there is no zone set in bold, you have not activated a zone set for
this VSAN.
Troubleshooting Zone Configuration Issues with the CLI
Much of the information accessed and summarized using Fabric Manager can also be found using CLI
show commands. (See Table 14-1.)
