MAPS interoperability with other features
50
Configuration upload and download
MAPS configuration is stored in separate configuration files. The default MAPS configuration is
stored in one configuration file. The user-created configuration is stored in another configuration
file. One user configuration file exists for each logical switch.
You cannot upload and download the default MAPS configuration file. A configuration upload or
download affects only the user-created configuration files.
High availability
MAPS configuration is maintained across a failover or reboot; however, MAPS statistics collected
are lost.
Admin Domains
MAPS is not supported with Admin Domains. If MAPS is enabled, you cannot create Admin
Domains. If user-created Admin Domains are present on the switch, migration to MAPS fails.
If MAPS is enabled, make sure you do not download configuration files that have Admin Domains
defined.
Fabric Watch
MAPS cannot coexist with Fabric Watch.
Fabric Watch behavior
The Management application provides a launch point to Fabric Watch configuration (Monitor >
Fabric Watch > Configure). In addition to launching Fabric Watch, the Management application
allows certain fabric watch configurations through Port Fencing, Frame Monitoring, and
performance thresholds and allows replication of fabric watch configurations. Also, note that some
features require the Fabric Watch license to work (such as port optics and Call Home).
Once you upgrade a switch to Fabric OS 7.2.0 or higher and enable MAPS, Fabric Watch
configuration and any Fabric Watch related features are no longer supported.
Launch Fabric Watch — A “None of the Fabric Watch specific operations can be performed on this
switch because the MAPS (Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite) are enabled.” error message
displays.
• Replicate Fabric Watch configuration — If you select a Fabric Watch configuration to replicate,
the Management application filters the MAPs-enabled switches from Source Configuration and
Destination Switches steps of the replicate configuration wizard.
• Port Fencing — Only displays switches that do not have MAPs-enabled. Depending on your
discovered devices, displays one of the following error messages:
- "None of the Fabric Watch specific operations can be performed on this fabric because the
MAPS (Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite) is enabled on all the switches."
- "Port Fencing cannot be configured on one or more switches in this fabric because MAPS
is enabled on them. Do you want to configure Port Fencing on the remaining switches?"
