FDMI
Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches provide support for the Fabric-Device Management Interface (FDMI)
functionality, as described in the FC-GS-4 standard. FDMI enables management of devices such as Fibre
Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) through in-band communications. This addition complements the existing
Fibre Channel name server and management server functions.
Using the FDMI functionality, the Cisco NX-OS software can extract the following management information
about attached HBAs and host operating systems without installing proprietary host agents:
• Manufacturer, model, and serial number
• Node name and node symbolic name
• Hardware, driver, and firmware versions
• Host operating system (OS) name and version number
All FDMI entries are stored in persistent storage and are retrieved when the FDMI process is started.
Displaying FDMI
Use the show fdmi command to display the FDMI database information (see Examples Displays All HBA
Management Servers, on page 219 to Displays Details for the Specified HBA Entry, on page 221).
