Checking system settings for firmwaredownload...

The following item(s) need to be addressed before downloading the specified firmware:
ERROR: A zone containing duplicate members was detected. Please remove the duplicate entries and try again.
ERROR: "ZoneXYZ" contains duplicate entry "50:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" (dup_count = 2)

Firmwaredownload failed.
 

Cause

Fabric OS 9.1.1d prevents the creation of zone objects with duplicate members using alias members. 
This change addresses defect FOS-850464, which caused the switch HA state to go out of sync after upgrading from FOS 8.x to 9.0.x when the switch zoning database contained duplicate WWNs. 

With the fix implemented in FOS 9.1.1d, zone objects with duplicate members using aliases are no longer permitted.

Resolution

Delete the duplicate members from the Zone object and then upgrade the FOS.
