Fabric adapters

Table 26 describes available Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter models. The BR-1860 provides dual

mode support for the port.

Host adapter discovery

The Management application enables you to discover individual hosts, import a group of hosts from

a CSV file, or import host names from discovered fabrics. The maximum number of host discovery

requests that can be accepted is 1000. Host discovery requires HCM Agent 2.0 or later. SMI and

WMI discovery are not supported.

NOTE

Pure Fabric discovery alone shows adapters behind Access Gateway and all adapter ports as virtual.

When you discover an adapter and ports using Host discovery, the adapter and all its ports are

shown as physical.

Instructions for discovering hosts are detailed in Chapter 3, “Discovery” and include information

about the following:

“Discovering Hosts by Network address or host name” on page 66

•“Importing Hosts from a CSV file” on page 68

•“Importing Hosts from a Fabric” on page 69

•“Importing Hosts from a VM manager” on page 71

•“Editing Host adapter credentials” on page 72

•“Removing a host from active discovery” on page 72

•“Viewing the host discovery state” on page 74

•“Troubleshooting host discovery” on page 74
