Diagnosing Fabric Device Sharing 19 Diagnosing Fabric Device Sharing Before you set up device sharing, you can verify whether two fabrics are configured to share devices. Using the Diagnose Fabric Device Sharing wizard, you select two or more fabrics and generate a report on whether device sharing is possible for each pair of selected fabrics. When the wizard lists the fabrics, it displays only discovered fabrics; it does not list foreign fabrics, secure fabrics, AD-enabled fabrics, or fabrics with an XPath OS switch as the proxy. Fabric Manager performs the following checks on the selected fabrics: • Are the selected fabrics configured with an FC Router? • Are the selected fabrics connected to the same backbone fabric? • Is sharing of devices between backbone and edge fabric supported? To diagnose fabric device sharing 1. Click Tasks > Device Sharing and Troubleshooting > Diagnose Fabric Device Sharing. The Diagnose Fabric Device Sharing wizard launches, as shown in Figure 19-3. Figure 19-3 Diagnose Fabric Device Sharing Wizard 2. Follow the instructions in the wizard. The wizard is self-explanatory, so the individual steps are not described in this document. The Summary screen appears when the diagnosis is complete. Fabric Manager Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000196-01-HP 19-5
