Introduce Virtual Fabric support for Brocade FC SAN Switches
Problem Description
===================
As of Juno, there is no support for zone management in Virtual Fabrics thus
preventing the administrator to avail this automated zone access control in Brocade
Virtual Fabrics (VF) environment.
Proposed Change
===============
A Brocade FC switch(
switches. A unique ID called VFID(Virtual Fabric ID) is assigned to each
virtual switch and all the configurations, including zones, happen within
the context of this VFID. User can configure a particular VFID to be 'default'
which will be the default context for when users login to the switch.
As of Juno, the Brocade Zone Driver does not set the VF context while establishing
a session to the switch because of which it has access only to the zones in
the 'default' VFID.
The proposal is to enhance the driver to set the VFID context to support all Virtual
Fabrics configured in the chassis.
