Sharing Devices Between Fabrics
You can share devices between fabrics without merging them using an FC Router (see Figure 19-1 on
page 19-3). Fabric Manager allows you to set up the shared devices easily with the Share Devices
wizard. Using the Share Devices wizard, you must first select the devices you want to share, then the
wizard creates a logical SAN (LSAN).
You cannot share devices between secure edge and backbone fabrics; the Share Devices wizard does not
display these devices.
To share devices between fabrics
1. Click Tasks > Device Sharing and Troubleshooting > Share Devices.
The Share Devices wizard launches (see Figure 19-5 on page 19-7).
