WebTools and mult-switch fabric

[HP_STRG]

I have configured two-switch fabric using 4/8 SAN Switches. I was able manage the switches before merging the fabric of both the switches. Howerver, after fabric merge it gives following error:

"WebTools EZ does not support multi-switch fabrics"


WebTools license is installed on both the switches.

If I disconnect the ISL cable, I am able to manage individual switches.

Any help is highly appriciated.

Do a "LicenseShow" and I am sure you will find out that you are missing a license which allows you to cascade the switches.

Turning off a whole fabric when a user (accidently) violates the license would be a rather hard thing, so Brocade decided to signal it in a rather 'soft' way.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

It shows, Web, Zone and Fabric licenses. Do I need additional license to manage two-switch fabric?

I can manage the switches from CLI, it is giving error only on WebTool.

Hi,

I still have no luck with this error. I have merged another fabric with 2x4/8 SAN Switches and its giving same error.

Anybody has come across such error?

Our project is on hold because of this error.

Any help is appriciated.

I assume you ran the lecenseshow on both switches and they were the same? I have seen an error like that when the fabric license didn't support the number of fabric's, maybe you only have a single switch fabric license.

Please paste the contents of your licenseshow and fabricshow to the site and we'll have a look.


Have you called HP on this yet?
