Third-party management applications
You can add up to three management applications to a fabric or switch. They can be either .exe
Files located on the Fabric Manager client system, or URLs to the application.
You can also add a third-party management application to several fabrics or switches at one time.
After a third-party management application has been added, you can later edit it, for example, to
change its arguments, name, or location.
NOTE
If an application is associated with multiple fabrics or switches and you want to make a global
change to the application’s arguments, you must either edit each fabric or switch individually or
follow the steps in “Adding an application to multiple fabrics or nodes” and incorporate your changes
when defining the application.
The Management Application option that lets you launch or configure third-party management
applications. If you select multiple fabrics or nodes, only the Configure submenu appears.
