Figure 3-30 IN-VSN: Connecting to a new fabric
It is not necessary that the directors specified with their IP addresses be actually
online or connected at the time of the fabric creation. The actual IP connectivity
to these directors is obtained every time you click the specific Fabric tab in the
IN-VSN client interface.
Furthermore, at the time of fabric creation, it is not checked if the specified
directors are actually connected via ISL or not. Again, this will be obtained when
clicking the specific fabric.
Once the director is actually online and IP connected it will appear by clicking the
fabric icon as shown in Figure 3-31.
