The following steps must be completed to successfully merge Brocade and QLogic fabrics. The
remainder of this section provides detailed instructions and examples.
ATTENTION!!
■ Backup the current configuration prior to performing the following steps so that the
configuration is available if something goes wrong.
■ Disruptions in the fabric can occur as a result of performing the following steps. Therefore,
it is recommended that these changes be done during down time or off-peak hours.
✓ Verify that the correct version of switch firmware is installed on each switch (see “Supported
Switches and Firmware Versions” on page 10).
✓ Ensure that each switch has a unique Domain ID and that it falls within the proper range
(see “Domain ID Configuration” on page 11).
✓ Set all switches to the appropriate timeout values (see “Timeout Values” on page 18).
✓ Ensure that all Zone set and Zone names are unique and conform to ANSI T11 standards
(see “Active Zone Set Names” on page 25).
✓ Ensure that all zone members are specified by WWPN (see “Zone Types” on page 31).
✓ Ensure that all Brocade switches are configured for Interoperability mode (see “Operating Mode
Configuration” on page 37).
✓ Ensure that Brocade’s Platform Management Server is disabled (see “Brocade Specific
Configuration” on page 37).
✓ Verify that the fabrics have successfully merged (see “Successful Integration Checklist” on
