You must delete the existing TI zoning and reconfigure in-order-delivery (IOD) settings on the switch fabric.

Steps

Identify the TI zones that are configured on the fabric:

zone --show

The following example shows the zone FCVI_TI_FAB_2.

Brocade-6510:admin> zone --show
   Defined TI zone configuration:
   TI Zone Name:   FCVI_TI_FAB_2
   Port List:      1,0; 1,3; 2,0; 2,3
   configured Status: Activated / Failover-Disabled
   Enabled Status: Activated / Failover-Disabled

Delete the TI zones:

zone --delete zone-name

The following example shows the deletion of zone FCVI_TI_FAB_2.
```
Brocade-6510:admin> zone --delete FCVI_TI_FAB_2
```

Confirm that the zones have been deleted:

zone --show

The output should be similar to the following:

Brocade-6510:admin> zone -–show

    Defined TI zone configuration:
    no TI zone configuration defined

Save the configuration:

cfgsave
Enable in-order-delivery:

iodset
Select Advanced Performance Tuning (APT) policy 1, the Port Based Routing Policy:

aptpolicy 1
Disable Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS):

dlsreset

Verify the IOD settings:

iodshow

aptpolicy

dlsshow

The output should be similar to the following:

Brocade-6510:admin> iodshow

IOD is set

Brocade-6510:admin> aptpolicy
 Current Policy: 1

 3 : Default Policy
 1: Port Based Routing Policy
 2: Device Based Routing Policy (FICON support only)
 3: Exchange Based Routing Policy
Brocade-6510:admin> dlsshow

DLS is not set
