By default, the active zoneset is distributed when you activate a zoneset.
What you want is for the full zone database to be distributed.
switch# show zone status
VSAN: 2 default-zone: deny distribute: full only Interop: default
mode: basic merge-control: allow
session: none
hard-zoning: enabled broadcast: unsupported
smart-zoning: disabled
rscn-format: fabric-address
activation overwrite control: disabled
Default zone:
qos: none broadcast: unsupported ronly: unsupported
Full Zoning Database :
DB size: 124 bytes
Zonesets:0 Zones:0 Aliases: 0
Active Zoning Database :
Database Not Available
Current Total Zone DB Usage: 124 / 4000000 bytes (0 % used)
Pending (Session) DB size:
Full DB Copy size: n/a
Active DB Copy size: n/a
SFC size: 124 / 4000000 bytes (0 % used)
Status:
First, create a backup of the configuration on both switches:
copy run bootflash:<switchname>_12_17_2015.cfg
To change to this to distribute full on both switches configure:
conf t
zoneset distribute full vsan x ( replace x with the VSAN number you are using )
exit
copy r s
Now the next time you activate a zoneset, you will distribute the full zone database.
The command above will show you what is in the full zone database on both switches. If one switch has all of the information in the full zone database and the other does not, you can go to the one that has the information in its full zone database and issue the command:
zoneset distribute vsan x ( replace x with the VSAN number you are using )
Best regards,
