ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a technique for performing partial build fabric operations when merging two or more Fibre Channel fabrics is provided. By maintaining a Principal Switch already assigned for one of two merging fabrics, a limited “partial build” may be performed for the other merging fabric. As a result, the time required for a Principal Switch selection phase may be greatly reduced.
