To perform a fabric merge check

Simultaneously” on page 4-4 for additional information.
2. Select Tasks > Fabric Management > Fabric Merge Check.

3. Select a fabric from each of the drop-down menus. The selected fabrics will be checked for merge
compatibility.
4. Click Check...
The Merge Check Results window displays a list of any inconsistencies between the two fabrics
(see Figure 25-3).
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.
