Go to SolutionSplitting one fabric into two
We have a need to split two of our edge switches off of our existing fabric into a separate fabric on their own. (internal politics, long story)
As a precursor and testing, I've created a new port channel between these two switches and moved all the ports into their own VSAN. This new VSAN is isolated just to these two switches and is only permitted to trunk on the port channel between them, not back to the existing core.
I was planning on just dropping the port channels back to the original core, doing a rediscover of both new fabrics in FM and walking away from it as completed.
Anyone done this before and has run into other gotchas/issues that I should watch out for. I'm a little concerned as what's going to happen to VSAN1 since I know it's going to become segregated, and my port channel ports live in that VSAN... There's nothing else in that VSAN *but* port-channels and ISLs.
