Message

Probable Cause Indicates that the zoning enforcement changed to session-based hard zoning. When a device is
zoned using both world-wide name (WWN) in one zone and <domain, portarea> in another, this will
cause that port to go session based hard zoning.
In session-based zoning, the zone enforcement is checked by the software. In hardware-enforced
zoning, zone or alias members are defined using <domain, portarea> exclusively or using WWNs
exclusively: that is, using one method or the other to define all objects in the zoning database. If
the devices on the port are defined by a mixture of port IDs and WWNs, the zone enforcement is
session based. If the S_ID list of the hardware-enforced zoning overflows (over the S_ID limit), the
hardware zone enforcement changes to session-based zoning.
Recommended No action is required.

zones(<zone name>, <zone name>) definitions overlap.
Probable Cause Indicates that a port is zoned with mixed devices (world-wide name (WWN) and <domain,
portarea>). During zoning database cross checking, it is detected that either:

•
You should use hard zone enforcement whenever possible. Hard zones are more secure than
"session-based hard zones". Both types of zones will trap a port login (PLOGI), but hard zones will
filter out the I/O frames which"session-based" hard zones do not.
Recommended If hard zone enforcement is preferred, edit the zoning database to have the port zoned with devices
Action defined as either WWN or defined as <domain, portarea> but do not mix the methods used to
define these zone members.

A port zone member is also listed as a member of a Mixed zone,
A world-wide name (WWN) zone member is also specified as a member of a Mixed zone.
