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.
