Selecting a Fabric to Manage Continuously

DETAILED STEPS

  1. Choose Server > Admin.

    2. You see the Control Panel dialog box with the Fabrics tab open.

    Note     The Fabrics tab is only accessible to network administrators.

    Note     You can preconfigure a user name and password to manage fabrics. In this instance, you should use a local switch account, not a TACACS+ server.

  2. Choose one of the following Admin options:
    1. Manage Continuously—The fabric is automatically managed when Cisco DCNM-SAN Server starts and continues to be managed until this option is changed to Unmanage.
    2. Manage—The fabric is managed by Cisco DCNM-SAN Server until there are no instances of DCNM-SAN viewing the fabric.
    3. Unmanage—Cisco DCNM-SAN Server stops managing this fabric.
  3. Click Apply.

Note     If you are collecting data on these fabrics using Performance Manager, you should now configure flows and define the data collections.
