Dear all,
first of all let me explain my setup and the issues we are facing.
1. We have 2 brocade switches - both of which are acting as redundant switches and setup in switchmode=principal with Domain ID 1
2. We have IBM blade systems and the BladeCenter Switches - which act as subordinate switch with redundancy and switchmode=subordiante DomainID 2
3. We have Dell Blade as a similar setup as IBM bladecenter - which act as subordinate switch with redundancy and switchmode=subordinate domain ID 3
4. Now we have another blade which is similar as Dell Blade, where we want to configure the switch as subordinate switch. But we have tried lot without any luck. by default it took domain ID 4, I can see all the Aliases, Zones, etc from the Prinicpal Switch and also the switch is this blade also showing as Principal switch. But we are not able to view the zones and aliases in Principal switch, hence we are not able to present the storage to the hosts.
I hope there is no limitations on subordinate, as we have now one Principal and two Subordinates. Please suggest here.
Regards

Hi,
In order to be able to figure out what's going on, could you please attach the output of commands:
- fabricshow
- switchshow
of the new blade switch and the brocade one?

Hi,
According to your post, Dell blade switch IGOV-RK7-SWITCH1 did not merged into the fabric because zonesets are different:

IGOV-RK7-SWITCH1 has a zoneset named BROCADE_TOP_SWITCH, whilst IBM_2498_B24_BOT has a zoneset called BROCADE_BOTTOM_SWITCH.
You have to modidy zoning in IGOV-RK7-SWITCH1 so that it matches with the existing in the rest of the switchs.
Also you can clear the zoning config in IGOV-RK7-SWITCH1 so that it imports the zoneset from IBM_2498_B24_BOT.

Hi Felipon,
Will try that solution and let you know the results
