Fabric merge check

This section describes how to perform a fabric merge check. The purpose of the fabric merge check

is to show inconsistencies between the two fabrics that might cause the new fabric to segment

after it has been physically connected. The fabric merge check also provides an option to resolve

any zone merge issues between the selected fabrics.

During the fabric merge check, Fabric Manager extracts copies of configuration elements from the

two fabrics, runs tests (see Table 22), and compares the results for any inconsistencies.

You cannot run the fabric merge check if Admin Domains are enabled on either of the fabrics, or if

either fabric contains a Brocade AP7420.

Switch configurations are required for the fabric merge check operation. FTP settings are required

to retrieve the switch configurations for legacy switches running Fabric OS v2.6.x or earlier and

Fabric OS v3.2.x or earlier.

NOTE

If a test is not applicable to the fabric, the test is not executed and Fabric Manager displays the

message, “Test not applicable to subject fabrics.” For example, if one or more fabrics are secure, the

management server platform test and the zoning test are not executed and the message is

displayed.
