Enhanced Zoning Issues
Resolving Enhanced Zoning Lock Issues with Fabric Manager
To resolve a lock failure using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Fabricxx > VSANxx and select the zone set that you want to configure.
Step 2 Select the Enhanced tab from the Information pane and view the Config DB Locked By column to
determine which switch and which user holds the enhanced zoning lock for this VSAN.
Step 3 Check the Config DB Discard Changes check box and click Apply Changes to clear the enhanced
zoning lock.
Note Verify that no valid configuration change is in progress before you clear a lock.
Resolving Enhanced Zoning Lock Issues with the CLI
To resolve a lock issue using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use the show zone status vsan command to determine the lock holder. If the lock holder is on this
switch, the command output shows the user. If the lock holder is on a remote switch, the command output
shows the domain ID of the remote switch.
switch#show zone status vsan 16
VSAN: 16 default-zone: deny distribute: active only Interop: default
mode: enhanced merge-control: allow session: cli [admin] <---- user admin has lock
hard-zoning: enabled
Step 2 Use the no zone commit vsan command on the switch that holds the lock to release the lock if you are
the holder of the lock.
Step 3 Use the no zone commit vsan <vsan id> force command on the switch that holds the lock to release the
lock if another user holds the lock.
Note Verify that no valid configuration change is in progress before you clear a lock.
Step 4 If problems persist, use the clear zone lock command to remove the lock from the switch. This should
only be done on the switch that holds the lock.
