1. If a fabric includes a Brocade AP7420 as a seed switch, information about these elements are not retrieved (not
supported by the Brocade AP7420).
2. For AD-aware or AD-enabled fabrics, zoning information is collected from AD0 and is used for the change
management snapshot and change reports; that is, change management for zoning is available for the ROOT zone
database only.
3. If a fabric includes a Brocade AP7420 as a member switch (not the seed switch), switch configuration changes
are not reported for the Brocade AP7420. Security policy change information for the entire fabric might not be
collected if the Brocade AP7420 is the first object Fabric Manager gets from API.
TABLE 14 Change management limitations
Change Description
Time changes If the current system time on the Fabric Manager server is changed to a time that is after the
end time of a scheduled change management check, the change report will not run.
Adding switches If a switch is added to a fabric after a change management profile is created, the profile
settings are not applied to the switch until you log in to it.
Segmented fabrics If a fabric segments into separate fabrics, the original fabric retains all of the change
management profiles and continues to run the scheduled profiles and report any missing
switches, devices, and so on. However, the new, smaller fabrics that are created for the
segmented switches do not have any change management profiles or reports.
Merging fabrics If two fabrics both have change management profiles associated with them, and you merge
the fabrics, the change management profile for the fabric that was discovered first is applied
to the merged fabric.
Logical switch
groups
Change management profiles cannot be applied to logical switch groups.
iSCSI elements In the change management report, the Changed column is not supported for this monitoring
area; changes in the membership for iSCSI elements such as DDs/DDSets are not reflected
in the report. For example, if a new or existing DD is added to a DD set, the Changed column
for the DD Set will not reflect this information.
