zone compact vsan

To compact a zone database in a VSAN, use the zone compact vsan command.
Syntax Description
vsan-id
Defaults None.
Command Modes Configuration mode.
Command History Release
3.0(1)
Usage Guidelines Prior to Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), only 2000 zones were supported per VSAN. Starting with
SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), 8000 zones are supported.
If more than 2000 zones are added, then a configuration check is registered to indicate that downgrading
to a previous release could cause you to lose the zones over the limit. To avoid the configuration check,
you can delete the excess zones and compact the zone database for the VSAN. If there are 2000 zones
or fewer after you delete excess zones, the compacting process reissues zone IDs and the configuration
can be supported by previous versions.
If you want to downgrade, you should configure less than 2001 zones across all VSANs and then issue
the zone compact vsan command on all VSANs.
If you attempt to merge VSANs, the merge will fail if more than 2000 zones are present in a VSAN and
the neighboring VSAN cannot support more than 2000 zones.
Activation will fail if more than 2000 zones are present in the VSAN and all the switches in the fabric
cannot support more than 2000 zones.
