When Fuse MQ Enterprise is installed it is set up to run a standalone broker. If you want the broker to become part of a fabric you have two options:
join an existing fabric
This option is useful if you have an existing fabric and simply want to add the broker to it. You can add the broker as a fully managed container in which the broker's existing configuration is wiped out and replaced with a profile from the fabric's repository. You can also add the broker as an unmanaged container that retains all of its configuration, but can be discovered through the fabric's ensemble.

Tip This option can also be used to move a broker from one fabric to another.
create a new fabric
This option converts the standalone broker into a Fabric Server. You will then need to either add a new broker to the fabric, or assign a broker profile to the server.
