Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: FcChangeProtoFailCause

Description: The reason for the failure of the zone set activation/de-activation.

The value of this object contains the reason for the failure only if the value of the corresponding instance of zoneSetActivateResult is either 'activateFailure' or 'deactivateFailure'.

What is zoneSetFailCause?

This read-only FcChangeProtoFailCause object reports the reason for a zone set activation or deactivation failure, and only contains a meaningful value when the corresponding zoneSetActivateResult is 'activateFailure' or 'deactivateFailure'. Admins use it to get the specific root cause of a failed zoning operation rather than just knowing it failed. For example, after seeing an activateFailure result, an admin would read this object to learn the specific Change Protocol failure reason before deciding how to remediate.
