Setting Up Discovery for a Fabric

DETAILED STEPS

  1. Create a special Cisco DCNM-SAN administrative user name in each switch on your fabric with network administrator or network operator roles. Or, create a special Cisco DCNM-SAN administrative user name in your AAA server and set every switch in your fabric to use this AAA server for authentication.
  2. Verify that the roles used by this Cisco DCNM-SAN administrative user name are the same on all switches in the fabric and that this role has access to all VSANs.
  3. Launch Cisco DCNM-SAN Client using the Cisco DCNM-SAN administrative user. This step ensures that your fabric discovery includes all VSANs.
  4. Set Cisco DCNM-SAN Server to continuously monitor the fabric.
  5. Repeat Step 4 for each fabric that you want to manage through Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.
