Domains are mutually exclusive and are not supported at the same time on a switch. Logical switch overview Traditionally, each switch and all the ports in the switch act as a single Fibre Channel switch (FC switch) that participates in a single fabric. The logical switch feature allows you to divide - HP StorageWorks 4400 | Brocade Fabric OS Administrator's Guide v6.3.0 (53-100133 - Page 239
Virtual Fabrics-enabled switch before and after it is divided into logical switches. Before you create logical switches, the chassis appears as a single switch (default logical switch). After you create logical switches, the chassis appears as multiple independent logical switches. All of the ports - HP StorageWorks 4400 | Brocade Fabric OS Administrator's Guide v6.3.0 (53-100133 - Page 240

Note that ports 0, 1, 7, and 8 have not been assigned to a logical switch and so remain assigned to the default logical switch. 198 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53 - HP StorageWorks 4400 | Brocade Fabric OS Administrator's Guide v6.3.0 (53-100133 - Page 241
