Using the SAN Fabric Discovery API
The SAN Fabric Discovery API provides POST URIs for discovering, updating, and deleting SAN
fabrics.
Notes about the SAN Fabric Discovery API URIs
• All SAN Fabric Discovery API URIs are POST requests.
• You can discover all types of SAN fabrics supported by the Brocade Network Advisor.
• You can update the switch credentials and the SNMP configuration used to discover the fabric
after the fabric is discovered.
• You can delete a fabric based on the fabric key.
• In the event that discovery of one of the virtual fabrics fails, the response payload contains the
Fabric Identifier (FID) of the fabric that failed to get discovered.
• All the contexts are discovered by default in the VF setup. You cannot select the contexts to be
discovered, but you can delete the unwanted contexts through the “deletefabric” URI.
• The value for snmpRetries should be from 1 through 5. The default is 3.
• The value for snmpTimeout should be from 3 through 999. The default is 5.
• In the event that SNMP registration fails, the discovery of the fabric still succeeds. However,
you can retrieve the events to check for any specific SNMP registration failure messages.
