Verifying Enhanced Zone Information

This example shows how to display the zone status for a specified VSAN:

Compacting the Zone Database

You can delete excess zones and compact the zone database for the VSAN.
A merge failure occurs when a switch supports more than 2000 zones per VSAN but its neighbor does
Note
not. Also, zone set activation can fail if the switch has more than 2000 zones per VSAN and not all switches
in the fabric support more than 2000 zones per VSAN.
