Problem Cause/resolution
Receiving zoning errors. Verify that you did not configure zoning on a
non-principal switch.
The application is not performing
zoning discovery very often.
Zoning discovery is performed once at startup, and
then once every two hours during routine discovery.
If the Zoning dialog box is open, zoning discovery is
performed during every polling cycle. It continues to
discover at the increased speed for 30 minutes
before it returns to the default value.
When activating a large zone set
on a two-switch fabric on UNIX
platforms, an error message is
displayed stating
Failed to
perform the requested
zoning action: Failed to
zone due to exception
COM.hp.hafmecc.HafmUnava
ilableException
.
Although the error message states that the requested
zoning action failed, the zone set correctly activated.
Wait for the next zoning polling to occur.
Zoning activation message is
displayed for a long time, but
zone set is not activated.
Telnet zoning can take a long time. To improve
speed, open the Discover Setup dialog box and add
the HAFM IP address for HP switches to the Selected
Individual Addresses list.
When opening the Zoning dialog
box from a particular switch or
fabric, the message
Cannot
zone the selected device
or fabric
is displayed.
The application can have been unable to log in to
the fabric due to another active session. Verify that
there is not another active session.
The application cannot support zoning on any of the
discovered products.
