Verifying Enhanced Zone Information; Compacting The Zone Database; Analyzing The Zone And Zone Set - Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring and Managing Zones

Verifying Enhanced Zone Information

This example shows how to display the zone status for a specified VSAN:
switch# show zone status vsan 2

Compacting the Zone Database

You can delete excess zones and compact the zone database for the VSAN.
Note A merge failure occurs when a switch supports more than 2000 zones per VSAN but its neighbor does
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.

Analyzing the Zone and Zone Set

To better manage the zones and zone sets on your switch, you can display zone and zone set information using
the show zone analysis command.
The following example shows how to display full zoning analysis:
switch# show zone analysis vsan 1
The following example shows how to display active zoning analysis:
switch# show zone analysis active vsan 1
