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 25-1) and compares the results for any inconsistencies.
You cannot run the fabric merge check if Admin Domains are enabled on either of the fabrics.
Switch configurations are required for the fabric merge check operation. FTP settings are required to get
the switch configurations for legacy switches running Fabric OS v2.6.x or earlier and Fabric OS v3.2.x
or earlier.
