Merging Fabrics and Zoning
If you join two fabrics with an inter-switch link, the active zone sets from the two
fabrics attempt to merge automatically. The fabrics may consist of a single switch
or many switches already connected together. The switches in the two fabrics
attempt to create a new active zone set containing the union of each fabric's
active zone set. The propagation of zoning information only affects the active zone
set, not the configured zone sets, unless Merge Auto Save is turned on.
