The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The supported providers list allows you to manually update the Cisco Intercloud Fabric Director (ICFD) providers list as new providers are supported. The supported providers list can be used to manually create a customized ICFD providers list for distribution to customers.
Use extreme caution when deploying this feature in a live system and when other users are using the ICFD UI. The service stop/start will cause unwanted service outages. We recommended that you deploy this feature prior to infrastructure setup.
You can manually update the ICFD providers list as new providers are supported.
Ensure that you have access credentials for the ICFD ShellAdmin user.
From Cisco.com, download the create_patch_providerslist.sh and supported_providers files to your desktop.
Note | During the installation of the patch, the browser to ICFD is not available. When the service is restarted, you can view the new supported providers list as part of the icfCloud creation. |
The following example shows how to manually update the ICFD supported providers list:
