Setting Up Discovery for a Fabric
To ensure that Fabric Manager Server discovers your complete fabric, follow these steps:
- Create a special Fabric Manager administrative user name in each switch on your fabric with network administrator or network operator roles. Or, create a special Fabric Manager administrative user name in your AAA server and set every switch in your fabric to use this AAA server for authentication.
- Verify that the roles used by this Fabric Manager administrative user name are the same on all switches in the fabric and that this role has access to all VSANs.
- Launch Fabric Manager Client using the Fabric Manager administrative user. This ensures that your fabric discovery includes all VSANs.
- Set Fabric Manager Server to continuously monitor the fabric.
- Repeat Step 4 for each fabric that you want to manage through Fabric Manager Server.
