Error description
TPC Fabric Probes need to be better able to handle switches with WWN (world-wide name) identifiers that do not correlate to any known switch model, organizationally unique identifier (OUI), or brand/manufacturer. An example of current TPC processing of unrecognized switch WWNs is shown in device server fabric probe logs: <TPC_install_directory>/device/log/<user_ID>.Probe_FABRIC_xxxxxx x_<date>_xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx_probe_fabric.ProbeFabr ics.xxxxx.xxxxxx.log For switch 5986xxxxxxx4F62 following information will not be collected - Switch Performance Management Information,Active Zone Configuration Information,Full Zone Database Information 2014-09-27 10:44:05.483-0600 BTADS0083W Some or all information may not be collected for fabric/fabrics since agent/agents are not configured and/or not currently operational. Fabric probe for fabric 1000xxxxxxxx5F703 has some limitations. These unknown WWNs are typically discovered by SRAs and can be removed by disabling fabric functions on servers connected to them.
