Zoning troubleshooting

The following section states some possible issues and recommended solutions for zoning errors.

The Management application successfully registers itself as syslog
recipient on the wireless controller as the secondary or ternary
recipient (primary slot is already occupied). The wireless controller
sends syslog messages to secondary or ternary recipients only if
primary recipient is not reachable. Therefore, even though the
Management application is registered as a syslog recipient it may
not receive any messages.

Server <address> is successfully registered as Syslog recipient to
the switch <device_address>; but <address> is not the primary
syslog recipient.

The Management application successfully registers itself as syslog
recipient on the wireless controller; however, it is non-primary
recipient and logging is disabled on device.

Server <address> is successfully registered as Syslog recipient to
the switch <device_address>; but logging is disabled on switch and
<address> is not the primary syslog recipient.

Problem

Resolution

Cannot perform zoning on a new switch.

You must use telnet (or the Product Type and Access tab in the Add Properties dialog box)
to change the default password on the new switch before you can use the Management
application to perform zoning.

When configuring a large zone configuration a
switch displays offline during discovery.

If a large zone configuration is configured in a fabric, switches may temporarily display as
being offline during discovery.
Wait for the next discovery cycle and click the Refresh button on the toolbar.

When activating a large zone configuration on
a two-switch fabric on UNIX platforms, an error
message displays stating “Failed to perform
the requested zoning action: Failed to zone due
to exception.”

Although the error message states that the requested zoning action failed, the zone
configuration will be correctly activated. Wait for the next zoning polling to occur.
This issue only occurs on UNIX systems.

Zoning activation message displays for a long
time, but zone configuration is not activated.

Telnet zoning can take a long time. To improve speed, open the Discover Setup dialog box
(Discover > Setup) and add the IP address for the device to the Selected Individual
Addresses list.

Out of memory error caused by running a
zoning report for a large zone configuration
(1 MB) in a medium-sized SAN due to a third
party tool.

You must increase the client memory allocation by completing

“Configuring memory

allocation settings”

on page 173.
