Virtual Fabric discovery troubleshooting

The following section state possible issues and the recommended solutions for Virtual Fabric
discovery errors.
Problem
At the time of discovery, the seed switch is Virtual Fabric-enabled; however, the user does not have
Chassis Admin role for the seed switch.
At the time of discovery, the user does not have the Chassis Admin role for all other switches in the
fabric.
After discovery, a device is upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2 or later and is Virtual Fabric-enabled;
however, the user does not have Chassis Admin role.
At the time of discovery, the seed switch is Virtual Fabric-enabled; however, the user does not have
access to all possible logical switches (access to all possible Fabric IDs 1 - 128).
At the time of discovery, the user does not have access to all possible logical switches for all other
devices in the fabric.
After discovery, a device is upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2 or later and is Virtual Fabric-enabled;
however, the user does not have access to all possible logical switches.
At the time of discovery, SNMP v3 is not configured.
At the time of discovery, SNMP v3 is not configured for all other switches in the fabric.
After discovery, a device is upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2 or later and is Virtual Fabric-enabled;
however, SNMP v3 is not configured
At the time of discovery or fabric refresh, the SNMP v3 user account does not have the Chassis
Admin role.
At the time of discovery or refresh, the SNMP v3 user account does not have access to all possible
logical switches (access to all possible Fabric IDs 1 - 128).
This access is required to obtain performance statistics from all logical switches.
At the time of discovery or fabric refresh, the SNMP v3 user account does not have a matching
Fabric OS switch user account.
This is required to obtain performance statistics from all logical switches.
At the time of fabric refresh, the physical chassis is reachable; however, a previously discovered
logical switch is not reachable.

Resolution
Make sure the user account has
Chassis Admin role on the Fabric OS
device.
Make sure the user account has
access rights to all logical switches
(access to all possible Fabric IDs 1 -
128) on the Fabric OS device.
Configure the SNMP v3 information
for the Virtual Fabric-enabled device.
Make sure the SNMP v3 user account
has the Chassis Admin role on the
Fabric OS device.
Make sure the SNMP v3 user account
has access rights to all logical
switches (access to all possible Fabric
IDs 1 - 128) on the Fabric OS device.
Make sure the SNMP v3 user account
is also defined as a Fabric OS switch
user.
The logical switch has been deleted
or the Fabric ID was changed.
To find a logical switch, right-click the
physical chassis within the Chassis
Group in the Product List and select
Logical Switches.
All logical switches on the selected
physical chassis display in a list.
