HWNEP0294W An authentication error prevented the switch from responding to SNMP queries regarding the ability of the switch to perform zone control.

Explanation

The IBM Spectrum Control server could not create a connection to the switch when checking the ability to perform zone control because of an authentication failure.

Zone control during provisioning Tasks might not be possible until this is resolved.

Action

Make sure that the switch authentication information is correct and then try the action again. If problem persists, contact IBM Software Support.
