I need to join to independent SANs together into one large SAN. Independently they are both simple setups. They each have a single disk resource, two fabrics (1 switch in each fabric), and nodes with dual hbas for redundancy.
To join this I am thinking of just connecting switch A from the first san to switch A of the second SAN using two ISLs and repeating for the B switches. I know that I must give them unique DomainIDs prior to connecting them. My question is how the zoning information will "combine". They are all brocade switches, the first SAN has 8 port versions and the second has a 16 port version.
Is this a pretty sound way of approaching this or should I come at this from a different angle? Thanks!
