User Accounts Chapter 39 Configuring Users and Common Roles Send documentation comments to [email protected] Database Merge Guidelines Fabric merge does not modify the role database on a switch. If two fabrics merge, and the fabrics have different role databases, the software generates an alert message. See the "CFS Merge Support" section on page 13-9 for detailed concepts. • Verify that the role database is identical on all switches in the entire fabric. • Be sure to edit the role database on any switch to the desired database and then commit it. This synchronizes the role databases on all the switches in the fabric. Displaying Roles When Distribution is Enabled When you enable distribution for roles, you can view either the pending role database (the database before it is distributed) or the running database. To view the roles using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Expand Switches > Security and then select Users and Roles in the Physical Attributes pane. Click the Roles CFS tab in the Information pane (see Figure 39-6). Figure 39-6 Roles CFS Tab Step 2 Step 3 Set the View Config As drop-down value to pending to view the pending database or set the View Config As drop-down menu to running to view the running database. Click Apply Changes to save this change. User Accounts Every Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch user has the account information stored by the system. Your authentication information, user name, user password, password expiration date, and role membership are stored in your user profile. The tasks explained in this section enable you to create users and modify the profile of an existing user. These tasks are restricted to privileged users as determined by your administrator. 39-10 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide OL-8007-10, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
