•
•
OL-17256-03, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
Edit Local Full Zone Database—Allows you to create zones across multiple switches. Zones
provide a mechanism for specifying access control. Zone sets are a group of zones to enforce access
control in the fabric. All zoning features are available through the Edit Local Full Zone Database
dialog box.
Deactivate Zoneset—Deactivates an active. zone-set.
Copy Full Zone Database—Creates a new zone set. On the Cisco MDS Family switches, you cannot
edit an active zone set. However, you can copy an active zone set to create a new zone set that you
can edit.
Merge Analysis—Enables you to determine if zones will merge successfully when two Cisco MDS
switches are interconnected. If the interconnected switch ports allow VSANs with identical names
or contain zones with identical names, then Fabric Manager verifies that the zones contain identical
members. You can use merge analysis tool before attempting a merge, or after fabrics are
interconnected to determine zone merge failure causes.
Merge Fail Recovery—Recovers the port from its isolated state either by importing the neighboring
switch's active zone set database and replacing the current active or by exporting the current
database to the neighboring switch.
Migrate Non-MDS Database— -Migrate a non-MDS database using Fabric Manager (You may need
to use the Zone Migration Wizard to accomplish this task).
IVR
Deactivate Zoneset—Deactivates an active zone-set.
–
Copy Full Zone Database—Recovers an IVR zone database by copying the IVR full zone
–
database from another switch.
Copy Full Topology—Recovers a topology by copying from the active zone database or the full
–
zone database.
Health
Switch Health—Determines the status of the components of a specific switch.
–
Fabric Configuration—Analyzes the configuration of a switch by comparing the current
–
configuration to a specific switch or to a policy file. You can save a switch configuration to a
file and then compare all switches against the configuration in the file.
Show Tech Support—Collects large amount of information about your switch for
–
troubleshooting purposes. When you issue a show tech support command from Fabric Manager
for one or more switches in a fabric, the results of each command are written to a text file, one
file per switch, in a directory you specify. You can then view these files using Fabric Manager.
Connectivity
End to End Connectivity—Determines connectivity and routes among devices with the switch
–
fabric. This tool checks to see that every pair of end devices can talk to each other, using a Ping
test and by determining if they are in the same VSAN or in the same active zone.
Ping—Determines connectivity from another switch to a port on your switch.
–
Trace Route—Verifies connectivity between two end devices that are currently selected on the
–
Fabric pane.
