Expand FC Infrastructure out of C7000
We currently have one C7000 with brocade FC switches. All our storage connects directly to those two switches.
We are about to expand the system with 2-3 C7000 and another storages system. Bottom-line, we need to utilize FC Switches outside the C7000 environment and move the storage systems to the external switches.
What would be the best game plan?

Clean way would be replace blade FC switches with FC pass-through and use a pair of external switches with enough licensed ports for additional blc7000

Re: Expand FC Infrastructure out of C7000
Or... you can connect the new blade enclosures directly to the existing blade enclosure and bypass the externals switches (assuming you have enough available ports on the existing switches and assuming you are getting Fibre Channel Switches or Virtual Connect FC or VC-FlexFabric Modules with the new enclosures.
Ideally, you probably want an external fibre infrastructure that you can connect all of the storage and all of the enclosures to... to make life simple.
