File

The file menu provides the following options:

• Open Fabric—Opens a new switch fabric.
• Locate Switches and Devices— Uses the SNMPv2 protocol to discover devices responding to SNMP requests with the read-only community string public. You may use this feature if you want to locate other Cisco MDS 9000 switches in the subnet, but are not physically connected to the fabric.
• Rediscover—Initiates an on-demand discovery to learn recent changes from the switches and update the Cisco DCNM-SAN Client. You may use this option when Cisco DCNM-SAN Server is not in sync with switches in the fabric and you do not want to wait until the next polling cycle. The rediscover option does not delete the fabric and add it again. You may delete and add the fabric only if the rediscover option fails to update Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.
• Resync All Open Fabrics— Cisco DCNM-SAN Server forces all the fabrics to close and re-open. You may use this option when Cisco DCNM-SAN Client is not in sync with Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.
• Rediscover SCSI Targets— Initiates an on-demand discovery to learn recent changes from the SCSI target switches. You may use this option when Cisco DCNM-SAN Server is not in sync with SCSI target switches in the fabric and you do not want to wait until the next polling cycle.
• Preferences—Sets your preferences to customize the behavior of the Cisco DCNM-SAN Client.
• Import Enclosures—Imports saved enclosures.
• Export
• Map Image—Generates and export the map to a specified location.
• Visio—Exports the map to a Visio file.
• Table—Exports the table data to a text file.
• Log—Exports the log to a text file.
• Events—Exports the events to a text file.
• Enclosures—Exports the enclosure values to a text file.
• Print —Prints the map.
• Exit—Exit Cisco DCNM-SAN.
