Applies to

All BVQ Versions

Procedure

  • Check the if a certificate is activated (SW / Key exist?)
  • Discover the Principal Switch and the Fabric Switches
  • Discover if Virtual Fabrics are enabled
  • Discover the used Protocol/ Session Count /  Sample Requests
  • Increase the number of Sample Requests, if necessary (due to connection timeouts)
  • Increase the number of allowed ssh sessions, if necessary (the value "10" shown below is just an example)

  • Check how many REST Sessions are active
