Virtual fabrics with dedicated ISL between the base switches where some of virtual fabrics
have been discovered but there is no base fabric.
-
If the base fabric is discovered, Brocade_SAN.Name is the principal WWN of the base
fabric.
-
If the base fabric is not discovered, the virtual fabrics will be disjointed and in each fabric
one SAN instance will be generated.
Virtual fabrics with no dedicated ISL between the base switches but with a dedicated ISL
between one of the discovered virtual fabrics.
-
In the absence of a dedicated ISL between the base switches, no actual logical fabrics
exist except for those which have a dedicated ISL. The virtual fabrics will be disjointed and
in each fabric one SAN instance will be generated.
A FCR setup where the backbone fabric and edge fabrics have been discovered,
Brocade_SAN.Name is the principal WWN of the backbone fabric.
A FCR setup where only one or more edge fabrics have been discovered.
-
In the absence of the backbone, each edge fabric is associated to its own SAN instance
and the Brocade_SAN.Name is the principal WWN of that edge fabric.
When a single edge fabric is connected to more than one separate backbone fabirc, all the
fabrics will be discovered as a single SAN. The Brocade_SAN.Name is the principal WWN of
one of the backbone fabric.
A fabric containing a CEE switch, Brocade_SAN.Name is the principal WWN of the Fibre
Channel fabric with the switch.
In a simple Fibre Channel fabric, Brocade_SAN.Name is the principal WWN of the fabric.
