To Edit Zone Configuration Members; To Reorder The Zone Member List; Recognizing Mq-Write Errors - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

To edit zone configuration members

1. Log in to one of the switches in a segmented fabric as admin.
2. Enter the cfgShow command.
3. Print the output from the cfgShow command.
4. Start another telnet session and connect to the next fabric as an administrator.
5. Run the cfgShow command.
6. Print the output from the cfgShow command.
7. Compare the two fabric zone configurations line by line and look for an incompatible configuration.
8. Connect to one of the fabrics.
9. Run zone configure edit commands to edit the fabric zone configuration for the segmented switch (refer
to Table 67
If the zoneset members between two switches are not listed in the same order in both configurations, the
configurations are considered a mismatch; this results in the switches being segmented in the fabric.
For example:
[cfg1 = z1; z2]
are the same.
One simple approach to making sure that the zoneset members are in the same order is to keep the
members in alphabetical order.

To reorder the zone member list

1. Use the output from the cfgShow for both switches.
2. Compare the order that the zone members are listed. Members must be listed in the same order.
3. Rearrange zone members so that the configuration for both switches is the same. Arrange zone
members in alphabetical order, if possible.

Recognizing MQ-WRITE errors

An MQ error is a message queue error. Identify an MQ error message by looking for the two letters M and
Q in the error message:
2004/08/24-10:04:42, [MQ-1004], 218,, ERROR, ras007, mqRead, queue = raslog-test-
string0123456-raslog, queue I
D = 1, type = 2
MQ errors can result in devices dropping from the SNS or can prevent a switch from joining the fabric.
MQ errors are rare and difficult to troubleshoot; resolve them by working with HP. When MQ errors are
encountered, issue the supportSave command to capture debug information about the switch; then,
forward the supportSave data to HP for further investigation.
