4. Select the devices you want to share using any of the following methods. You must select at
least one device from the Available Devices list, and at least one device using any of the
following methods:
• Click the name of a device you want to share in the Available Devices list, and click the
right arrow to move the device to the Selected Devices list.
• Type the full path name of a valid .csv file in the Import Device Ports from file field and
click Select Device Port(s). You can also use Browse to locate the .csv file.
Typically the .csv file contains name server entries of the switches that are not managed
by Fabric Manager but are connected to a fabric managed by Fabric Manager. This step is
required if you want to share devices among fabrics managed by Fabric Manager and
those not managed by Fabric Manager, but where all the fabrics are connected to an FC
Router in the backbone fabric.
• Type the device port WWN in the Device Port WWN field and click Add.
5. Click Next.
A summary displays the devices that will be shared in the new LSAN. The summary also
displays whether the FC Router is properly configured for the selected device sharing.
6. Read the summary.
If something is incorrect, click Previous and then correct it. If you added devices from an
undiscovered fabric using the manual method (using a .csv file or typing the WWN in step 4),
you must manually create the LSAN on the undiscovered fabric, as Fabric Manager creates
LSANs only in discovered or managed fabrics.
7. Click Finish to automatically create the LSAN and exit the wizard.
If the FC Router is not properly configured, the devices cannot communicate with each other,
even though an LSAN is created. See “Connect edge fabrics” on page 278 for information on
configuring the FC Router.
Logical SANs and imported/exported devices
The LSAN Zone Information(see Figure 180 on page 283) displays information about the LSANs
that span the selected edge fabric.
Displaying the LSAN Zone Information and modify LSANs
1. Select an edge fabric from the MetaSAN view, and select the LSAN Zone Information tab.
The LSAN Zone Information displays.
NOTE
The Actions menu is not available from this tab.
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to an LSAN name to display the devices in that LSAN, as shown in
Figure 180.
