Fcaliases not showing in DCNM

[Sanjesh Kishore]

Recently updated MDS9148 FW to 5.2.8d and also installed new DCNM 6.2.3. 9148 is working fine with all fcaliases and zones active. The problem is fclias is not coming up in DCNM. DCNM can see the active zoneset which can be edited and activated but all fcliases are missing under fcaliases folder. Has any one seen this issue? BTW I can do everthing via CLI and all fcaliases are present in the switch.

Did you enable fc alias ?

Using Device Aliases or FC Aliases

You can change whether DCNM-SAN uses FC aliases or global device aliases from DCNM-SAN Client without restarting Cisco DCNM-SAN Server.

DETAILED STEPS

---

Step 1 Choose Server > Admin.

You see the Control Panel dialog box with the Fabrics tab open.

Step 2 For each fabric that you are monitoring with Cisco DCNM-SAN Server, check or uncheckthe FC Alias check box.

If you check the FC Alias checkbox, DCNM-SAN will use FC Alias from DCNM-SAN Client. If you uncheck the FC Alias checkbox, DCNM-SAN will use global device alias from DCNM-SAN Client.

Step 3 Click Apply to save these changes.

Thanks Walter. Enable it both site. One site is now showing fcaliases but the other site is still not showing. I have DCNM installed at each site to manage 2 x 9148 at local site. Possibly looks like issue with DCNM server.
