Use the following procedure to enable switch passwords to be saved to the server or disable switch passwords from being saved to the server. Note If you disable switch passwords from being saved to the server, then you need to monitor the fabrics again when you restart the client. In this case, a message dialog displays on client startup about the missing credentials; you must click the Provide credentials now button in that dialog and enter seed switch credentials to start monitoring the fabrics. You can provide the credentials for the rest of the switches in the fabric by clicking Discovery > Switch Login. To enable or disable switch passwords 1. Click Edit > Preferences in the Menu bar. The Preferences dialog displays. 2. Expand User specific and click General (see Figure 3-22 on page 3-20). Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP 12-1
