    Abstract: A 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.

    Abstract translation: 光纤通道交换机,使得不同结构中的终端设备能够彼此通信,同时保留其独特的光纤通道Domain_ID。 开关耦合到具有第一组端部装置的第一织物和具有第二组端部装置的第二织物。 交换机被配置为使用与第一组终端设备相关联的第二组终端设备的第一组终端设备与第一组织相关联的第一组终端设备进行通信,使用第一组和第二组端点中的每一个的唯一Domain_ID 设备。 在本发明的一个实施例中,第一和第二织物分别是第一和第二虚拟存储阵列网络(VSAN)。 在替代实施例中,第一织物和第二织物是分离的物理织物。
