I currently have a single 9222i switch (switch1). This switch has a single VSAN (600), a single zone (Default_Zone (ports fc1, fc2, fc3 & fc4)). I want to add a second 9222i (switch2)and implement FCIP as a ISL. I've read to documentatio but I want to make sure I'm on the right track.
I will create a new VSAN 700 on both switch1 & switch2 and but Switch1-GE1 & Switch1-GE2 in this VSAN
I will create VSAN 600 on Switch2 (ports FC1, FC2, FC3 & FC4)
i will move the targets in switch1 FC3 &FC4 to switch2 FC1 & FC2
I will setup a FCIP link between Switch1-GE1 and Switch2-GE1

Since the zoneset is done via WWID I shouldn't have to change the configuration.
Will switch1 FC1 & FC2 be able to communicate with switch2 FC1 & FC2?
Since the ports are in the same VSAN I do not need to do any further configuration?
Even though the FCIP link is on a seperate VSAN (700) and matching VSANs on either switch should be able to communicate?
The FCIP ports should be in a seperate VSAN?
Thanks in advance
