Enabling or disabling the monitoring of fabrics by Storage Resource agents

You can enable or disable fabric monitoring by Storage Resource agents. Fabric monitoring is enabled by default. When you enable fabric monitoring, the agent collects information about fabrics that the server is connected to.

About this task

After you install a Storage Resource agent on a server, you can enable or disable the monitoring of fabrics that the server is connected to. If you enable fabric monitoring, the agent collects information about the SAN and zoning.

If you disable fabric monitoring, the agent cannot collect fabric information or monitor fabrics that the server is connected to. If the agent is the only data source that is managing the fabric, the fabric is no longer managed. A state of Unreachable is shown for the fabric on the Fabrics page.

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, go to Servers > Servers.
  2. On the Servers page, right-click the server where the agent is deployed. Select Modify Agents > Enable Fabric Functions or Modify Agents > Disable Fabric Functions to enable or disable fabric monitoring.
