• Alias needs to be created having Compellent fault domain WWPN accessible on Brocade switch. Create a single alias including the virtual ports for the Compellent fault domain WWPN accessible on Brocade switch. ASM automates the creation of each additional zone for the server objects and place them into a zone config.

• Brocade root password needs to be changed so that the banner presented to change the default password does not impact ASM's ability to ssh into the switch.

Create fault domain as per Dell Compellent best practices.
