Merging the Database

The merge behavior depends on the fabric-wide merge control setting:
•
•
Table 19-3
Local Database
The databases contain zone sets with the same name
different zones, aliases, and attributes groups.
The databases contains a zone, zone alias, or zone
attribute group object with same name
members.
Empty.
Contains data.
1. In the enhanced zoning mode, the active zone set does not have a name in interop mode 1. The zone set names are only present
Caution Remove all non-pWWN-type zone entries on all MDS switches running Cisco SAN-OS prior to merging
fabrics if there is a Cisco MDS 9020 switch running FabricWare in the adjacent fabric to avoid ISL
isolation.
