Migrate Brocade SAN management from BNA to FOS REST

By migrating Brocade SAN management from BNA to FOS REST, you can do the following:
  • Change a SANs primary SAN manager from BNA SAN manager to FOS SAN manager with no server disruption.

  • Manage SAN zone configuration using the FOS REST API of the switch in data centers without impacting the configured server profiles or running applications.
