Mixed FabricAttach and DirectAttach VC SAN fabrics

Mixing FabricAttach and DirectAttach VC SAN fabrics is fully supported in the same Virtual Connect domain. This scenario can be useful if you need to attach additional storage systems that are not supported today with the DirectAttach fabrics.

To mix FabricAttach and DirectAttach fabrics, you must create two different VC SAN fabrics because a VC SAN fabric can only contain uplink ports of one type.
