Hello,
based on lsan output, everything should work fine.
Do you register any errors/discards on your ports ?

Something different happening now
So we chagned the FID on one of the logical switches from 16 to 18 - lscfg --change 16 -newfid 18
it took the change
we reset the EX ports on the base switch - FID 8 to default then did the following
From FID 8 (base switch) portcfgexport 12/0 -a 1 -f 18 (the FID of the other logical switch with SVC ports and E ports assigned)
issed the same portcfgexport 12/6 -a 1 -f 18
getting a fabricID conflict now on the EXPORT.
my understanding from reading through the post and the guide, when specifying the FID in the command, it needs to be the FID of the other logical swtich, which is now 18?
I may be missing something with that part of the setup.. If i specify portcfgexport 12/0 -a and no FID, it makes the 1 connection, but the other EXPort will not connect with the fabric oversubscription error.
a note on the FDID and Xlate - reading through that stuff, it will autoassign like FID 160 and 200 without any other config required.
what am i missing here in the EXPORT config setup?

Hello,
to be honest i am little bit confused about your FID of logical switches. The picture will be great.
But anyway, you have to specify EDGE fabric to which is your EX port connected not oposite one.
It doesnt need to be same as FID of logical switch.
So for example..
SWITCH A (FID100) --- E-Port < > EX -a1 -f 100) <> BASE ----DWDM ---- (continue in next row)
----DWDM --- BASE <> EX - a 1 -f 200 <> E-Port --- SWITCH B(200 FID)

Hello,
picture is available.
So for your errors as per admin guide:
The fabric ID must be the same for every router port connected to the same edge fabric, and different for every edge fabric. If two ports are connected to the same fabric but have been assigned different fabric IDs, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID oversubscription. If two fabrics have been assigned the same fabric ID, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID conflict.
For the first statement:
Ports are connected to the same fabric but have been assigned different fabric IDs, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID oversubscription.
That was your first issue cause it have used different FID for both EX ports.
For second :
If two fabrics have been assigned the same fabric ID, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID conflict.
Please check if there is no any missconfiguration on other side (Site A)
I will disable all EX ports and start with only one BASE switch.
You have to configure on SITE A BASE -f 16 on SITE B Base -f 18 on all EX ports attached to edge.

Thanks Marian
On Site B, from FID 8, i issued a portcfgdefault to reset the ports back to default
then issued portcfgexport 12/0 -a 1 -f 18
still having issues
i have a call out there with Brocade to see what i am doing wrong...

Funny thing, the EX to E port connection worked the first time I set this up when I did not specify the -f parameter in the portcfgexport command - but the fabric oversubscription occured when doing the second EXportcfg. which I understand now the cause of that.
I understand the concept of what needs to be done, just dont understand why it is not working
Thanks again for all your help!!!! i really appreciate it!

Hello,
could you please share lscfg --show output ?
is there any info in errdump ?
Please check if the XISL is not enabled.

You might consider running a SAN Health report including all switches and VFs. Sometimes, this will give a clue as to what may be wrong.

here is the output (still cant find an add attachment icon here...)
https://ws.onehub.com/workspaces/1177590/files/2365478793
there are no XISL's as i made sure to turn that off
ignore anything about the FFDC's - it is an issue to be resolved with a code update to 8.1.2d
errdump starts at the point i started to configure everything from scratch last monday.
I'll look at doing a SANHealth sometime and see what that shows me too
