The new fabric remains not zoned. Fabrics join successfully and the active zone set will propagate across the fabric. Fabric A inherits zoning configuration from Fabric B. Fabrics join successfully and the active zone set will propagate across the fabric. Fabric B inherits zoning configuration from Fabric A. Fabrics can merge if the zone names in each fabric are unique. The resulting active zone set is a union of the zones from each fabric. Once you have merged the two zoned fabrics, click the Save active zone set as button in the Zoning View to save the active zone set to the zone set library. If there is a zone name conflict (the same zone name in each fabric) then the zones must have identical members for the fabrics to join. If the two zones have the same name but contain different members, then the E_Ports will segment and the fabrics will not join. Note: If merging zones will result in segmented E_Ports and the fabrics will not join, you can join the fabrics by deactivating the active zone set on one of the fabrics (default zone is enabled). This eliminates any conflicts because the fabrics will then join using only the active zone set. After the fabrics join, you can make adjustments to zoning configurations as you desire. 142 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide

Fabric Zoning

High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
Note:
If merging zones will result in segmented E_Ports and the fabrics will not join,
you can join the fabrics by deactivating the active zone set on one of the fabrics (default
zone is enabled). This eliminates any conflicts because the fabrics will then join using
only the active zone set. After the fabrics join, you can make adjustments to zoning
configurations as you desire.

Zoned
Zoned
Fabrics can merge if the zone names in
each fabric are unique. The resulting
active zone set is a union of the zones
from each fabric. Once you have
merged the two zoned fabrics, click the
Save active zone set as
button in the
Zoning
View
to save the active zone
set to the zone set library.
If there is a zone name conflict (the
same zone name in each fabric) then
the zones must have identical members
for the fabrics to join.
If the two zones have the same name
but contain different members, then the
E_Ports will segment and the fabrics
will not join.
