Merging Fabrics And Verification - HP C-Series Compatibility Manual

• Any character other than the first character must be either an upper case (A–Z) or lower case (a–z)
letter, a number (0–9) or an underscore symbol (_).
Configure zones using port WWNs
In interoperability mode, all zone members must be defined using port WWNs. Defining them any
other way is not supported. Zones cannot be defined using Fibre Channel port addresses or domain
and port combinations. If there are any zones not defined with the port WWN, you must redefine
them.

Merging fabrics and verification

After configuring both fabrics individually as described in these application notes, the identified
E_Ports from both sides can be connected to merge them. The interop fabric reconfigures and merges
into a single fabric.
To verify the fabric has merged properly, run the following commands on both the B-series and C-series
switches and ensure they are no segmentations or other errors.
On the B-series, open a Telnet session to one of the switches and execute the switchshow command.
