An Fibre Channel Switch which enables end devices in different Fabrics to communicate with one another while retaining their unique Fibre Channel Domain_ IDs. The Switch is coupled to a first fabric having a first set of end devices and a second fabric having a second set of end devices. The Switch is configured to enable communication by the first set of end devices associated with the first fabric with the second set of end devices associated with the second set of end devices using the unique Domain_IDs of each of the first set and the second set of end devices. In one embodiment of the invention, the first and second fabrics are first and second Virtual Storage Array Networks (VSANs) respectively. In an alternative embodiment, the first fabric and the second fabric are separate physical fabrics.
L'invention porte sur un commutateur de canal de fibres permettant à des dispositifs finaux de différents tissus de communiquer entre eux tout en conservant l'identité propre de leur domaine de canal de fibres. Le commutateur, qui est couplé à un premier tissu comprenant un premier ensemble de dispositifs terminaux, et à un deuxième ensemble de dispositifs terminaux, est configuré pour permettre des communications entre le premier ensemble de dispositifs terminaux, et le deuxième ensemble de dispositifs terminaux. Dans une exécution de l'invention, le premier tissu et le deuxième sont respectivement un premier et un deuxième système Virtual Storage Array Networks (VSANs). Dans une variante, le premier tissu et le deuxième sont des tissus physiques séparés.
