Fabric profile 3 NOTE The following properties are mapped with the value specified to differentiate between Brocade_Fabric and Brocade_SAN instances. Brocade_Fabric instance: OtherIdentifyingInfo[] = {"Fabric"} IdentifyingDescriptions[] = {"SNIA:DetailedType"} Brocade_SAN instance: OtherIdentifyingInfo[] = {"SAN"} IdentifyingDescriptions[] = {"SNIA:DetailedType"} Brocade_SAN.ElementName properties The following are the properties of Brocade_SAN.ElementName: • Brocade_SAN.ElementName is a descriptive name to identify the SAN. • The default value for ElementName is the Brocade_SAN.Name property value. • Supports the set operation that is used to set the user-friendly name to SAN. The name can be up to 15 characters. NOTE The default value for Brocade_SAN.ElementName is the Brocade_SAN.Name property vaule. For more information about Brocade_SAN.ElementName default values, refer to "Rules governing Brocade_SAN.Name" on page 17. Limitations The following are the limitations of the Brocade_SAN.ElementName: • The ElementName is changed whenever the SAN WWN is changed. • The SAN user-friendly name is deleted when the fabric is deleted. For example, assume a fabric with switch1 as principal switch and you configure a SAN Element Name. - If the firmware is upgraded in the switch1 and it goes down momentarily, then switch2 becomes the principal switch in that fabric and the Element Name is changed to default. - When the switch1 comes active and becomes the principal switch, then the configured SAN ElementName is reset to the configured name. • The SAN element name is reset to the default value when the principal switch WWN is changed during fabric merge or segmentation. - For example, assume there are two switch fabrics where switch1 is the seed switch and switch2 is the principal switch, and SAN Element name is configured. If a switch3 joins the fabric as a principal switch, then the element name changes to switch3 WWN and the configured name is lost. Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent Developer's Guide 21 53-1002169-01
