17 Merging Secure Fabrics Merging Secure Fabrics Fabric Manager provides a wizard to help you merge secure fabrics that are not physically connected. This wizard performs a compatibility check that identifies noncompatible parameters and enables you to create security policies for the merged fabric. Before launching the wizard, you first select the secondary fabric that you want to merge into a primary fabric. You select the primary fabric within the wizard. If the fabric you selected as the secondary fabric has a Change Management configuration or is part of a Performance Monitoring configuration, this configuration and data in the secondary fabric is lost after the merge.

In the Information Panel, select the secure fabric that you want to merge into a primary secure fabric. This fabric is the secondary fabric. 2. Right-click on this fabric in the Information Panel and choose Security > Merge with Secure Fabric from the context menu. If Fabric Manager detects Change Management or Performance Monitoring configurations in the secondary fabric, a confirmation message asks whether you want to continue with the merge.
