Although these switches are supported, Path Connectivity does not automatically detect them in your SAN.

Use the Path Connectivity Fibre Channel Switch Management screen to add switches.

Adding switches

1. Start Command View.

2. Click the Path Connectivity link in the left pane.

3. Click Administration.

4. Click Switch Mgmt in the navigation tree.

5. Enter the IP address or DNS name of the switch to be added in the Enter IP Address or DNS name

below field.

6. Click Add. The list on the left displays the switch.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all switches are added.

8. Click Apply.

The Path Connectivity Data Collection Service will try to communicate with newly-added switches on its

next scheduled switch polling cycle.
