Adding a fabric switch
You can add a fabric switch after onboarding a storage system. Add, update,
and delete fabric switches in the Storage Advisor interface.
After a fabric switch is added, you can choose to auto-create zones during
volume provisioning. A fabric switch is required for any operations that use
auto-select, such as host group creation and auto-selection of ports while
attaching volumes to servers.
Before you begin
• Verify that servers and ports are connected according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
• Verify that there is an active zone set with at least one dummy zone
available.
• The Storage Advisor server is connected to the same IP network and has
access to SNMP broadcast of Fibre Channel switches.
• Verify the required information about the fabric switch: Virtual Fabric ID
(required only for Cisco switches), Fabric Switch Type, Fabric Switch IP
Address, Port Number, Username, and Password.
• Verify that you have the Admin role for the fabric switch.
Procedure
1. On the Storage Advisor dashboard, select Fabric Switches to open the
Fabric Switches page.
2. Click the plus sign (+) to open the Add Fabric Switches page.
