Unified Fibre Channel fabric (self.sysadmin)

What are industry best practices for this stuff? Do you want a separate fabric for dev and prod? Just separate zones?

My company doesn't connect any fabrics (1 switch=1fabric) and it seems inefficient and a giant pain in the ass, as we move hosts around like we're getting paid for it. What do all of you do?

I'd like to see separate fabrics for prod/dev. We have a few switches that are platform specific though that would be really nice to have integrated into the general prod environment. As those platforms are absorbed into our main platform that environment needs to be repurposed anyways and it would be nice to just do it logically without having to recable everything when something needs to be changed.
