Managing Secure Fabric OS To merge fabrics that have Secure Fabric OS implemented: Note: This procedure does not require rebooting the fabric. However, there is potential for segmentation or other disruption to the fabric due to the number of factors involved in the merge process. 1. As a precaution, back up the configuration of each fabric to be merged by entering the configupload command and completing the prompts. This also backs up the security policies, if Secure Fabric OS was already in use on the switch. 2. Ensure that all switches to be merged are running Fabric OS v2.6.1, v3.1.x, or v4.1.x. a. Open a CLI connection (serial or telnet) to one of the switches in the fabric. b. Log into the switch as Admin. The default password is password. c. Enter the version command. If the switch is a Core Switch 2/64, you can also enter the firmwareshow command. d. If the switch is not running Fabric OS v2.6.1, v3.1.x, or v4.1.x, upgrade the firmware as required. For information on upgrading firmware, see "Upgrading to a Compatible Version of Fabric OS" on page 28. If necessary, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric Operating System Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide. e. Customize the account passwords from the default values, as described in "Customizing the Account Passwords" on page 24. f. Repeat for each switch that you intend to include in the final merged fabric. 3. If the final merged fabric will contain switches running Fabric OS v2.6.1 or v3.1.x and switches running Fabric OS v4.1.x, the switches running v2.6.1 or v3.1.x must have the Core PID set to "1". This parameter is available through the configure command; for more information about the Core PID, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric Operating System Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
