B-series and H-series fabric merge / ISL

[jimstaszko]

I have an existing "fabric".  It's a single C7000 with a pair B-series 4/24 C-class modules (v6.1.2a) with NO zoning connected externally to an EVA4400, 3 racked DL servers, and internally to 10 blade servers.

We want to add a pair (one on each fabric) SN6000 H-series switches from which a 3Par 7200 will hang.

Is there any documentation for merging B-series and H-series fabrics?

What is the min firmware required for each switch in this configuration?

Should I impliment zoning on the 4/24's first or will I have to do it from scratch after the ISL's are in place?

TIA,

Jim

The link on SPOCK is a bit flaky so here's the pdf.
