Performance Manager Authentication

Performance Manager uses the user name and password information stored in the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server database. If this information changes on the switches in your fabric while Performance Manager is running, you need to update the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server database and restart Performance Manager. Updating the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server database requires removing the fabric from Cisco DCNM-SAN Server and rediscovering the fabric.
