Adding more than one Fabric to PowerVC when the Fabrics are merged

Situation: 

I have 4 brocade san fabrics.
SASGSRFC07
SASGSRFC08
SASFX05
SASFX06
There is a ISL link between them.
I have registered SASFX05 and SASFX06 successfully with PowerVC, but I am unable to register SASGSRFC07 and SASGSRFC08. The message I am getting is:
Unable to add fabric SASGSRFC07. Explanation: PD-A000061 The fabric you are trying to register is already managed through switch ID 10:00:50:eb:1a:0c:4a:14 as 'SASFX05'.

Would suggest adding support for failover fabric management in PowerVC.

(customer requests like this added support for HMC fail over in 2.x)

 

Cheers
