A Brocade switch must be configured to manage SAN zoning in
HPE OneView.
NOTE: The steps in this task are performed in the Command-line interface (CLI) of the switch.
Prerequisites
- Run the switch in
Native switch mode and not in
Access Gateway mode with NPIV.
- For
HPE OneView to access the switch and to perform zone configuration changes, configure the Brocade FOS switch with username and password.
- Ensure that the FOS REST API is enabled and
HPE OneView can connect to it.
Procedure
-
To re-enable the FOS REST interface if disabled, enter
mgmtapp --enable REST.
The FOS REST API is enabled by default.
-
Configure the Brocade FOS switch to allow all sessions of
HPE OneView instances to configure switch zoning.
Each
HPE OneView Brocade FOS switch SAN Manager uses one REST session on the switch. The maximum sessions per switch are 3, by default. To set the maximum session count to 4, enter
mgmtapp --config -maxrestsession 4.
-
Create the fabrics on the switch for
HPE OneView to discover.
HPE OneView will name the discovered SANs using the
Fabric Name configured on the Brocade switch.
-
Validate in
HPE OneView, under
that you can manage the configured switch.
