Creating traffic flows

Never done it yet, but I will certainly dig into this topic as soon as I have more time available with Cisco's as I have no access to MDS's for the next 2 months or so.

We got this sorted out. My management interface on source and target switches are on two separate non-routable networks. Cisco believes when i use "Create flow" wizard, source switch it trying to talk to the other switch over management interface but it can't, hence i don't see available targets for my flow. The way around it is to create flows manually by specifying source and target device fcid. When in Fabric Manager click on "End Devices under "Physical Attributes", Flow Statistics and then select "Create Row". Select switch, vsan and fcid for source id and target id and hit Create. In an hour or so you should see flow statistics in Cisco performance manager. Hopefully it will help somebody.

yep, i sure was. Now i have "mrtg" style dashboard where i can view historical throughput between two DMX boxes performing SRDF. If you have enterprise license for MDS, you are licensed for Cisco performance manager.

So were you able to retrieve the information you wanted using that method for creating the traffic flow?

what is that "mrtg"?
