Configure FibreChannel Switches
On the SAN Configuration window, specify the hostnames or IP
addresses of the FC switches that are directly connected to the nodes in
the matrix. (If you are using Web Management-Based Fencing, you will
see this window only if you chose to configure or reconfigure SAN
switches.)
Set the SNMP Community String
The SNMP community string must be set to the same value on Matrix
Server and on the SAN switches managed by the matrix. The default
SNMP community string for Matrix Server is private. If you want to use a
custom community string instead, select Yes on the Specify SNMP
Community String window.
SAN Configuration
Enter hostnames of SAN switches to configure, separated by
whitespace.
< OK > <Cancel>
Specify SNMP Community String
Do you want to specify a community string to be used for
FibreChannel switch SNMP communication?
Note: All SAN switches must use the same community string.
Initial Matrix Server installations will use the default
community string as described in the installation guide.
(Anwer < No > to retain any currently configured community
string)
