Problem Resolution
At the time of discovery, the seed switch is Virtual Fabric-enabled;
however, the user does not have Chassis Admin role for the seed
switch.
At the time of discovery, the user does not have the Chassis Admin
role for all other switches in the fabric.
After discovery, a device is upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2 or later and is
Virtual Fabric-enabled; however, the user does not have Chassis
Admin role.
Make sure the user account has Chassis Admin role on the
Fabric OS device.
At the time of discovery, the seed switch is Virtual Fabric-enabled;
however, the user does not have access to all possible logical
switches (access to all possible Fabric IDs 1 - 128).
At the time of discovery, the user does not have access to all
possible logical switches for all other devices in the fabric.
After discovery, a device is upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2 or later and is
Virtual Fabric-enabled; however, the user does not have access to all
possible logical switches.
Make sure the user account has access rights to all logical switches
(access to all possible Fabric IDs 1 - 128) on the Fabric OS device.
At the time of discovery, SNMP v3 is not configured.
At the time of discovery, SNMP v3 is not configured for all other
switches in the fabric.
After discovery, a device is upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2 or later and is

At the time of discovery or fabric refresh, the SNMP v3 user account
does not have a matching Fabric OS switch user account.
This is required to obtain performance statistics from all logical
switches.
Make sure the SNMP v3 user account is also defined as a Fabric OS
switch user.
At the time of fabric refresh, the physical chassis is reachable;
however, a previously discovered logical switch is not reachable.
The logical switch has been deleted or the Fabric ID was changed.
To find a logical switch, right-click the physical chassis within the
Chassis Group in the Product List and select Logical Switches.
All logical switches on the selected physical chassis display in a list.
