To create a SAN fabric, one must first determine the topology and power on and configure each switch through diagnostic tests, firmware upgrades, and fabric parameter configuration. Then interconnect the switches with inter-switch links to form the fabric and load zoning configurations before connecting and powering on storage and host devices to verify the SAN is functioning properly.

High level Steps To Create a SAN Fabric 1. Determine the fabric topology. 2.
Power on each switch, and go through the Power-On Self-Test (POST). 3. Configure each switch: a. Configure each switch for network access. b. Run diagnostic tests to verify hardware. c. Upgrade the firmware and install software licenses. d. Configure the fabric parameters and software features. 4. Reboot each switch and then verify the switch configuration. 5. Connect ISLs to form a large fabric. 6. Verify the fabric configuration. 7. Load the desired zoning configuration onto the fabric. 8. Connect devices to the fabric. 9. Power on the devices: a. Power on or enable the storage devices. b. Power on or enable the host devices. 10. Verify the SAN.
