The other switch will sustain the connections with reduced redundancy' If the question is 'removing one switch and connecting same set of devices', the answer is 'you can remove any one of the switches and it's connection in your diagram.
#Zoning in brocade san switch how to#
If I want to make all san switches work as one switch mean it will be one fabric then how to do so? The example below is for a Cisco switch, but Brocade uses a similar configuration. Zoning allows partitioning of a Storage Area Network (SAN) into logical groupings of devices that access each other. Popular manufacturers of Fibre Channel switches are Cisco and Brocade. All devices connected to a fabric may be configured in to one or more zones. This is already the best zoning/cabling to connect your devices. A zone in a fabric is a set of devices that have access to one another. Zoning and LUN masking are more of configuration of restriction and better. Any other combinations will only reduce the redundancy and performance. There are three different type SAN fabric topology single switch, mesh. This is the best zoning/cabling to connect your devices. What is scenarios to do zoning for the specified diagram? what is the adv. This post will explain how to do Fibre Channel Zoning using any type of Brocade Fibre Channel Switch.

This is the best zoning/cabling to connect your devices. There are good step by step zoning documents out on the internet, so I assume this post will be a success. Is that the best cabling to do? or this is not best practice? HPE Blog, Austria, Germany & Switzerland Learn how to configure a storage-area network (SAN) switch, decide what fabric topology to implement, the importance of zoning and masking, and how to figure out fan-in and fan-out ratios.
