    Chapter Discovering and Customizing Fabrics In this chapter This chapter provides information about discovering fabrics with Fabric Manager (including running subnet scans), renaming and deleting fabrics, customizing and using the information provided in the Fabric Manager views, and synchronizing the data and time across an entire fabric. See the following topics for the steps required to accomplish the specific Fabric Management tasks: •...

  • Page 86: About Fcs Policy And Seed Switches

    Fabric Discovery During fabric discovery, if you have defined IPv6 IP addresses for the switch, Fabric Manager remembers the IP address only. If the switch has a DNS name that you have defined, Fabric Manager can remember the DNS name and use that. NOTE To discover an Admin Domain-aware fabric, you must have the role of admin with access to the physical fabric and all possible admin domains on the fabric.

  • Page 87: Multiple Fabric Discovery (Subnet Scan)

    Fabric Discovery To discover a fabric using a DNS name, you must have an entry in the hosts.txt file in C:\WINDOWS\system2\driver\etc or in /etc on Unix-based machines. The entry should be on a new line with the format switchIP switchName. For example 10.144.8.42 mySwitch. The switch is discovered in Fabric Manager using the DNS name switchName as specified in the hosts.txt file (mySwitch in the above example).
