Selecting a Fabric to Manage Continuously

When you quit the Fabric Manager Client, you are prompted as to whether or not you would like to have Fabric Manager Server continuously manage that fabric. Alternatively, you can use Fabric Manager Client to select a fabric to manage.

To continuously manage a fabric using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Server > Admin.
  2. Note     The Fabrics tab is only accessible to network administrators.

    Note     You can pre-configure a user name and password to manage fabrics. In this instance, you should use a local switch account, not a TACACS+ server.

  3. Select one of the following Admin options:
    1. Manage Continuously—The fabric is automatically managed when Fabric Manager Server starts and continues to be managed until this option is changed to Unmanage.
    2. Manage—The fabric is managed by Fabric Manager Server until there are no instances of Fabric Manager viewing the fabric.
    3. UnmanageFabric Manager Server stops managing this fabric.
  4. Click Apply.
