Hi,
We added a new MDS9148T switch to existing SAN fabric and expanded the fabric. The new MDS 9148T switch is the principal switch after fabric merging.
Before adding new MDS 9148T, the fabric had one MDS 9148S switch and one Nexus 5K (N5K-C5548UP) switch.
Active zone-set was on VSAN 200.
Previously, before adding the new MDS 9148T switch to the fabric; 5K switch was the principal switch.
After adding the new MDS 9148T to the fabric, the fabric configuration is as below.
Switch | Domain ID | Priority | Type |
Old MDS 9148S | 0xc8(200) | 128 | Subordinated Switch |
Nexus 5K | 0x01(1) | 2 | Subordinated Switch |
New MDS 9148T | 0x73(115) | 1 | Principal Switch |
Now the New MDS 9148T is the principal switch as expected.
But still some commands give out put only when executed from 5K switch.
When tried to add zones to the existing zoneset from the new MDS 9148T switch (current principal switch), we get below warning.
***********************************************
PDC-MDS-9148T-SW2(config)# zoneset activate name Mobitel-PR-SAN200 vsan 200
WARNING: New Zoneset Mobitel-PR-SAN200 is significantly smaller than current active Zoneset Mobitel-PR-SAN200. Do you want to continue? (y/n) [n] n
PDC-MDS-9148T-SW2(config)#
*************************************************
When zoning done from 5K, that waring does not appear.
What is the reason for this warning.
We have a requirement to remove the 5K from the fabric in near future after migrating all its devices to new MDS 9148T.
How can we do that as zoning can only be done from 5K?
