Hi everybody!

Help me please solve the problem. Use stor2rrd for monitoring storage systems and SAN switches.

After adding all the switches to monitoring, there are 26 of them in total, 2 switches are not in their fabric.

[lpar2rrd@xorux stor2rrd]$ cat etc/san-list.cfg
#
# SAN configuration file. All SAN switches must be listed here
#
# <switch IP or hostname>:<SNMP community string>:<BRCD|CISCO>:<fabric name>
# <fabric name> will be used in the GUI for Fabric aggregated graphs
#               use it on ONE switch in the each fabric!!!
# <SNMP community string> is usually set to string "public". In this case you can leave it blank.
#
# GUI will show the real name of the switch regardless what name or IP you use here
#
# example  (note each fabric alias is just once on arbitrary switch in given fabric!!!
#           It is not necessary to put fabric alias on each switch in the fabric)

    Hi Micallef,

    are you sure these switches belongs to the fabric B?
    Send us the output from the following.

    cd /home/stor2rrd/stor2rrd # or where is your STOR2RRD working dir
    cat data/*/fabric.txt

    Hi Micallef,

    it looks like the following 3 switches are not part of any fabric. They are probably in AG mode (Access Gateway).

    1,1,fc_sw01_bl_03_GA,Fabric_A
    1,1,fc_sw02_bl_02_PA,Fabric_B
    1,1,fc_sw02_bl_03_GA,Fabric_B

    Can you confirm if they are in AG mode?

    Hello, Karel!

    Thanks for the tip, I'll check it now.

    Karel, it can be if the expanded license is not activated on these switches?


  • mbayard
    mbayard
    I don't think switches license can be the cause ... But if they are in access gateway mode, they won't appear in the same fabric as other switches ...

    Maybe copy/paste here the result of a fabricshow ?

    Hi,

    I got the same issue as Micallef. I also have switches in access gateway mode, and even if they are not in fabric per se, I would like to have them in one group with switches they are connected to (fabric).

    Now I do have those AG switches in bad group and can't move them to another.

    I am using latest v 2.52.

    @Karel hello!

    Are there any ideas how not to change the AG mode on the switches to add them to the right fabrics?

  • Pavel

    Hi,

    we have moved all AG switches to special fabric called "Access Gateway"
    It is all we can do. They do not belong to any Fabric (means fabric cfg is not shared with them), they also do not report connection to any fabric via SNMP

    Hi Pavel,

    thank you for the updated version. This is satisfactory solution for me.

    Thanks again.
