Cisco Fabric Manager
Zoning
In the Edit Local Full Zone Database tool, virtual Fibre Channel interfaces must be specified using the
Switch Port WWN method of adding members to a zone. In the Add Members to Zone dialog box, the
Switch & Port method and the Domain & Port method are not supported for virtual Fibre Channel
interfaces.
Caveats
This section lists the Cisco Fabric Manager caveats related to managing Nexus 5000 series switches.
Open Caveats
• CSCq57019
Symptom: The Fabric Manager N-Port Virtualization (NPV) Wizard does not list the Nexus 5000
Series switches that are operating in NPV mode.
Workaround: None.
• CSCsq06170
Symptom: In Fabric Manager, only one power supply is displayed for a Nexus 5000 Series switch
with two power supplies.
Workaround: Use Device Manager, which displays the correct information when you use the
Power Supplies menu item from the Physical menu.
• CSCso82992
Symptom: When using the Roles dialog box in Device Manager, if you edit the role scopes for a
role that already has role scopes defined, and then click the Apply button, an error message dialog
box states that the entry already exists.
Workaround: The changes are saved if you click the Apply button again.
• CSCsq23436
Symptom: The load-balancing and traffic-engineering features are not supported on Nexus 5000
Series switches in NPV mode, but Fabric Manager does not disable the configuration of these
features. In the Switches > NPV information pane, the Load Balancing tab provides a check box to
enable the feature, and the Traffic Engineering tab provides a dialog box to create a traffic
engineering session.
Workaround: Ignore these configuration options for Nexus 5000 Series switches.
• CSCsq14828
Symptom: The web client does not display flow statistics or the Ethernet interface statistics for
initiators using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connections to the Nexus 5000 Series switch.
Workaround: Use Flow Statistics in Fabric Manager, which displays the flow statistics correctly.
The Device Manager displays the Ethernet interface statistics correctly.
• CSCsq32710
Symptom: If you logged in to the Nexus 5000 Series switch using a user-defined role, you cannot
retrieve the Fibre Channel interfaces using SNMP.
Workaround: You can retrieve the information using CLI commands.
