Refer to the exhibit. An engineer fails to perform a database merge between two Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches named switch-1 and switch-2. Which set of commands resolves the issue?

The correct answer is D. On switch-1, run the device-alias rename A3 A123 command. The failure to merge the databases is due to the device-alias conflict between switch-1 and switch-2. Both switches have different aliases (A3 on switch-1 and A1 on switch-2) for the same pWWN (21:01:01:01:01:01:01:02). To resolve the conflict, you need to rename the…

Explanation

The failure to merge the databases is due to the device-alias conflict between switch-1 and switch-2. Both switches have different aliases (A3 on switch-1 and A1 on switch-2) for the same pWWN (21:01:01:01:01:01:01:02). To resolve the conflict, you need to rename the device-alias on both switches to a common alias (e.g., A123). Renaming the device-aliases on both switches to a new, common alias (e.g., A123) resolves the conflict and allows the database merge to proceed successfully.
