Fabric Manager and UCS

[thomaspaget]

I am having some problems getting Fabric Manager 5.0(4d) to authenticate to UCS switches (6120XP's at code level 4.2(1)).  We are using TACACS+ for the authentication and the UCS switches are configured within TACACS. In Fabric Manager we get the status message of "Unknown User or Password (Server,Client). Anyone run into this?

Hello,

you will need to setup snmp user/password on UCS 6120 with the same snmp user and password as the switches

setup snmp for UCS

1.     UCS-A# scope monitoring
2.     UCS-A/monitoring# enable snmp
3.     UCS-A/monitoring# set snmp community public
4.     UCS-A/monitoring# commit-buffer
5.     UCS-A/monitoring# create snmp-user admin
6.     UCS-A/monitoring/snmp-user# set aes-128 no
7.     UCS-A/monitoring/snmp-user# set auth md5
8.     UCS-A/monitoring/snmp-user# set password   (same admin password as the
seed switch)
9.     UCS-A/monitoring/snmp-user# commit-buffer

After setup snmp/password on UCS, click re-discover button on FM or better remove fabric and then re-discover fabric

Thanks! adding the snmp user that is used by Fabric Manager worked. I was also able to add it through the UCS gui in Communication Services.
