Fabric Manager Server Features
Cisco Fabric Manager Server has the following features:
- Multiple fabric management Fabric Manager Server monitors multiple physical fabrics under the same user interface. This facilitates managing redundant fabrics. A licensed Fabric Manager Server maintains up-to-date discovery information on all configured fabrics so device status and interconnections are immediately available when you open the Fabric Manager Client.
Note The unlicensed Cisco Fabric Manager can only monitor and configure one fabric at a time. You must use the Open menu to switch to a new fabric, which causes the application to stop monitoring the previous one and to rediscover the new fabric.
- Continuous health monitoringMDS health is monitored continuously, so any events that occurred since the last time you opened the Fabric Manager Client are captured.
- Roaming user profilesThe licensed Fabric Manager Server uses the roaming user profile feature to store your preferences and topology map layouts on the server, so that your user interface will be consistent regardless of what computer you use to manage your storage networks.
Note You must have the same release of Fabric Manager Client and Fabric Manager Server.
