All,  We are planning to replace CISCO MDS 9513 switches with MDS 9396S on our two fabrics. These are the steps I have in mind.  1. Configure MDS 9396 and assign a domain id greater than the MDS 9513 2. connect console terminal 3.configure networking, ssh , zone set etc 4.Vsan configuration.  We need to create port to port documentation where to insert the cables  Can any one put more info on this.
