SAN discovery overview

Discovery is the process by which the Management application contacts the devices in your SAN.
When you configure discovery, the application discovers devices connected to the SAN. The
application illustrates each device and its connections on the Connectivity Map (topology).

When you discover a fabric, the Management application checks to confirm that the seed switch is
running a supported Fabric OS version in the fabric, and if it is not, the Management application
prompts you to select a new seed switch.

NOTE

Discovery of a Secure Fabric OS fabric in strict mode is not supported.
