switches, hosts, and storage devices.
In addition to complete configuration and status monitoring capabilities for Cisco MDS 9000 Family
switches, Fabric Manager Client provides Fibre Channel troubleshooting tools. These health and
configuration analysis tools use the MDS 9000 switch capabilities including Fibre Channel ping and
traceroute.

role that allows access to limited features . The configuration capabilities of a server admin is limited to
FlexAttach and relevant data.
