Authenticating Performance Manager
Performance Manager uses the user name and password information stored in the Fabric Manager Server
database. If this information changes on the switches in your fabric while Performance Manager is
running, you need to update the Fabric Manager Server database and restart Performance Manager.
Updating the Fabric Manager Server database requires removing the fabric from Fabric Manager Server
and rediscovering the fabric.
To update the user name and password information used by Performance Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Click Server > Admin in Fabric Manager.
You see the Control Panel dialog box with the Fabrics tab open, as shown in Figure 4-2.

Step 3 Click Remove to remove these fabrics from Fabric Manager Server.
Step 4 Choose File > Open Fabric.
You see the Control Panel dialog box as shown in Figure 4-3.

Step 5 Enter the appropriate user name and password to rediscover the fabric and check the check boxes in the
Select column next to the fabrics that you want to open.
Step 6 Click Open to rediscover the fabric.
Fabric Manager Server updates its user name and password information.
Step 7 Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for any fabric that you need to rediscover.
