Fabric managers

Fabric Managers in HPE OneView enable integration of a Cisco ACI fabric (an external entity) with HPE Synergy. A fabric manager aligns HPE OneView resources as defined by Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) policies. It represents a remote Cisco APIC or an APIC cluster that manages a Cisco ACI fabric. APIC policies, such as End Point Group (EPG) with intra EPG isolation and micro segmentation are enabled for segmenting server infrastructure to suit the security needs.

You can operate a fabric manager after adding it in HPE OneView and configuring a list of tenants to cover policies necessary for HPE Synergy and Cisco APIC integration.

The Cisco APIC administrator provides the user login information to HPE OneView administrator using which fabric manager connects with the Cisco APIC. The Cisco APIC user must have Read all role and Read only access level to allow the fabric manager to retrieve all the required information when connected to the Cisco APIC.

  • Read-all—User role for connectivity and protocol configuration under fabric infrastructure.

  • Read only—Access level for accessing system configuration with no privileges to modify the system state.
