3 Fabric profile • 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.
