Cisco MDS 9148 | Fabric Manager 5.01a | Two switches show on my map, but I only have one switch...

[Betim Pallaska]

Hello there,

I have two Cisco MDS 9148 and I am managing them with Fabric Manager. These switches are not connected to each other.

PROBLEM: When I open one of the fabric, Map on the fabric manager is showing two switches, and I noticed that VSAN WWN of vsan 1(default), is showing on the switch tab when i select the Fabric. As i tried to figure it out the problem, I did some "debug snmp trace" and I found an event, which is not shown in the other MDS Switch(which is working properly).

SNMP Event is shown below:

2011 Apr  6 12:37:38.046498 snmpd:  snmp_target_is_allowed_for_vrf: checking for filter criterion[10.10.0.131/2162/0:]

2011 Apr  6 12:37:38.046542 snmpd: Number of filters set:0

2011 Apr  6 12:37:38.046579 snmpd: --snmp_target_vrf_resolv_context_id:Request for 10.10.0.131/2162/0 

2011 Apr  6 12:37:38.046662 snmpd: Not found VRF config for target: 10.10.0.131/2162/0

2011 Apr  6 12:37:38.046703 snmpd: l3vm_get_context_id for management returned 0

2011 Apr  6 12:37:38.046741 snmpd: fill_notif_tgt_usm_info : Bad VRF Id resolved for Target: 10.10.0.131/2162/0. Platform does not support context or returned invalid one

I would appreciate your opinion, in order to resolve this issue, which also could help others.

Hi Betim,

2162 is an SNMP trap port, so I don't think it's related to the issue.

Are you seeing a switch for each VSAN?

Hi dakester,

You are right, Fabric manager shows a switch for each vsan created on the Fabric, also for the deafult vsan 1.

I have the same switch 9148 and that one works perfect.

find attached screens from Fabric Manager.

Thanks for your assistance,

Betim

Hi,

No, we couldn't fix it still. Anyway, I found out that when i create a community public, switch responds much faster.

I have restored system and kickstart from another same switch that works without any problem, but the problem stands still. Even I upgraded the OS problem exist.

I would appreciate your assistance if you fix your switch.

Hi Betim,

I may have identified the Fabric Manger Bug.

What is the switch WWN?

'show wwn switch'

Some MDS 9124 and MDS 9148 units produced between Feb 13, 2011 and April 29, 2011 were programmed with incorrect MAC addresses.

See field notice for more details.

The MDS9148 with new OUI 64-00-f1 will requires Cisco Fabric Manager Release 5.04D and later. The new OUI was not updated on the older releases
