Remove Virtual Fabric

Hello,

I need help for merging 2 switches where VF needs to be disabled.

Below is our current Brocade switches configuration;

Model: Brocade 6520

Switches:

Switch_1

Switch_2

Zoning: Soft

VF > Enabled

1) FID: 128

> cfgzone: Not Defined

> Fabric: n/a

2) FID: 2

> cfgczone: Zoning_A (Defined and Active)

> Fabric: Switch_1

3) FID: 6

> cfgzone: Zoning_B (Defined and Active)

> Fabric: Switch_1 & Switch_2

All FIDs, i.e. 128, 2, 6 have ports connected and zoned.

Scenerio 1: Disable Virtual Fabric

(A) We need to get rid of virtual fabric, i.e. FID 2, 6, and finally 128

(B) I need Default switch into Fabric with no impact to current zones and alias.

> I am ok with Downtime of assets connected

> I am ok with creating a New Defined Zoning Configuration.

Scenerio 2: Keep Virtual Fabric Enabled, but delete FID 2 & FID 6, so using just Default FID 128

> I am ok with Downtime of assets connected

> I am ok with creating a New Defined Zoning Configuration.

> What will happen to zones and alias when ports are move from FID 2 & FID 6 to FID 128

> What will happen to zones and alias when finally all ports are in FID 128 and we disable Virtual fabric

Step by step process to achieve scenerio 1& 2 will be highly appreicated.

Thanks
