Re: Change the principle switch in SAN Fabric
Hello Owahid,
If you have redundant connections from other switches, you can remove/reboot/turn-off the principal SAN switch. One of the subordinate switches will assume the role of principal switch. That will not result in loss of any information.
All the switches in a fabric share the same set of information such as zoning table. They are designed to be redundant and to assume the principal switch role any time when the principal switch fails.
