Gather Information

Use this task to discover device information that will be useful when configuring Oracle SDN.

1. If you haven't done so already, discover all the Oracle leaf, spine, virtualization switches, and Oracle Fabric Interconnect F1 devices in the fabric.

   Refer toDiscover Devices in Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0.2 Administration Guide.

2. For QDR Oracle devices being managed through Oracle Fabric Manager 4.x only:
   1. Display the Oracle SDN Summary page.
   2. Make a note of the Oracle fabric ID.

      For information about the Oracle fabric ID, see Oracle SDN Fabric ID Overview (QDR).

3. For any Oracle device, make a note of which servers you will add to the Oracle SDN environment.

   In a mixed environment, some servers participate in Oracle SDN and some are using standard I/O. Make a note of the servers that will be running Oracle SDN.

4. (Optional) Rename the Oracle SDN fabric.

   See (Optional) Rename the Oracle SDN Fabric (QDR).
