Message
<timestamp>, [ZONE-1004], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>,
port <port number> enforcement changed to Session Based HARD
Zoning.
Probable
Indicates that the zoning enforcement changed to session-based hard zoning. When a device is zoned
Cause using both 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.

database cross checking, it is detected that either:
•
A port zone member is also listed as a member of a Mixed zone,
•
A WWN zone member is also specified as a member of a Mixed zone.
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 PLOGI, but hard zones will filter out the I/O frames
which"session-based" hard zones do not.

If hard zone enforcement is preferred, edit the zoning database to have the port zoned with devices

these zone members.
