Fabric Interoperability:

Merging Fabrics Based on M-Series and B-Series

Fibre Channel Switches

Sixth Edition (September 2006)

Part Number: AA-RUQQF-TE

This document summarizes information for planning a merge of separate SAN fabrics, where one fabric

consists of M-Series Product Line switches, and the other SAN fabric consists of B-Series Product Line switches.

This guide provides the techniques and best practices for such an implementation.

Checklist for merging fabrics

Complete the steps below before actually merging the fabrics:

Verify the correct version of firmware is installed on the HP M-Series and HP B-Series

products and also the correct version of High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is

installed.

■

Ensure there are no duplicate domain ID’s.

■

Select an M-Series Director as the Principal Switch.

■

Ensure there are no duplicate zone/zone set names.

■

Ensure that B-Series and M-Series products have fabric zoning configured with WWN.

■

Ensure that M-Series and B-Series products comply with proper zone naming.

■

Ensure the fabrics are in the proper operating mode.

■

Ensure HP default settings are in effect on both B-Series and M-Series switches

■

Ensure M-Series ports are 1 Gbps for B-Series SAN Switch 8 and 16 models

■

Ensure M-Series ports are 2 Gbps for the B-Series SAN Switch 2/8 and 2/16 models

■

Ensure McData 4Gb SAN switch for HP p Class BladeSystem default settings are in effect

■

Disable Management Server if it is present

■

Ensure Fabric Binding and Enterprise Fabric Mode are disabled

■

Add the switches to the fabric one at a time.

■

Use HAFM for Zoning Activities.

■

Step 1: Verify application and firmware versions

Before merging the two fabrics (M-Series and B-Series), make sure:

■ The correct versions of HAFM is installed.

■ The correct versions of firmware are installed.

Refer to Tables 2 , 3 , 4 , and 6 to determine what versions are needed and if necessary, obtain

the latest versions of applications and firmware.

Step 2: Ensure there are no duplicate domain ID’s

When merging fabrics, you must ensure that no duplicate domain ID’s exist among the

switches between the two fabrics. For example, Figure 1 on page 5 shows two fabrics and the

domain ID’s assigned to the switches in each fabric. In the example, the M-Series domain IDs

of 1 and 2 are equivalent to the B-Series domain IDs of 97 and 98. If you tried to merge these

two fabrics, the merger would fail as the ISL’s would segment due to the duplicate domain

ID’s.

A requirement for merging fabrics is that all domain ID’s must be unique. In the example, you

would change the M-Series domain ID’s. See Figure 2 on page 5 for acceptable domain IDs.

Please note that M-Series and B-Series use different numbering schemes for their domain ID

numbers. For example, the M-Series domain 1 is equivalent to B-Series domain 97. See

Table 1 on page 6 for a chart showing the correlation between M-Series’s and B-Series’s

domain ID’s.
