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 NX-OS software can extract the following management information
about attached HBAs and host operating systems without installing proprietary host agents:
•
•
•
•
All FDMI entries are stored in persistent storage and are retrieved when the FDMI process is started.
