To determine why, issue the show zoneset command.
switch# show zoneset
zoneset name ZoneSet1 vsan 1
zone name Zone1 vsan 1
pwwn 50:06:0e:80:03:50:5c:03
pwwn 20:00:00:e0:69:a1:b9:fc
zone name Zone2 vsan 1
pwwn 10:00:00:e0:02:21:df:ef
pwwn 20:00:00:e0:69:a1:b9:fc
zone name Zone3 vsan 1
fwwn 20:42:00:05:30:00:63:9e
fwwn 20:43:00:05:30:00:63:9e
zone name zone-cc vsan 2
pwwn 50:06:0e:80:03:50:5c:01
pwwn 20:00:00:e0:69:41:a0:12
pwwn 20:00:00:e0:69:41:98:93
zone name Zone-cc vsan 2
pwwn
The output shows that the zone name was added incorrectly (names for both zones and zoneset are case
sensitive), creating a new zone called Zone-cc instead of zone-cc. Therefore, the storage pwwn has been
erroneously configured to belong to a zone in which that port is the only member. The pwwn of the
storage subsystem disappears from the output of show active zoneset command, because Zone-cc is not
be added to the active zoneset of VSAN2.

Other useful commands

Use the show zone name command to display members of a specific zone.
switch# show zone name Zone1
zone name Zone1 vsan 1
Use the show fcalias to show if and how aliases are configured.
switch# show fcalias vsan 1
fcalias name Alias2 vsan 1 pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:6f:db:dd
fcalias name Alias1 vsan 1 pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:9c:48:e5
Use the show zone member command to display all zones to which a member belongs using the FCID,
the fcalias, or the pwwn.
switch# show zone member pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:9c:48:e5
VSAN: 1
zone Zone3
zone Zone1
fcalias Alias1
Use the show zone statistics command to display the number of control frames exchanged with other
switches.
switch# show zone statistics
