Abstract
A fabric simulation device implementing a method for generating a simulated fabric of a simulated storage area network. In operation, the fabric simulation device logs into a physical storage area network as an unofficial physical fiber channel switch connected to the simulated storage area network, and maintains a fabric testing relationship between the physical storage area network and the simulated storage area network based on being logged into the physical storage area network as the unofficial physical fiber channel switch.
