Description
Fabric Managers is a resource manager in HPE OneView that enables 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.
You can operate a fabric manager after adding it in HPE OneView and configure a list of tenants to cover policies necessary for HPE Synergy and Cisco APIC integration.
Remediation of networks, network sets, and logical interconnects Remediation is a process to convert a noncompliant health state of an HPE OneView resource to a compliant health state with respect to APIC policy definitions.
The following conditions cause the fabric manager to be unable to synchronize with network policies:
- One or more networks connected across uplink sets in a logical interconnect within HPE Synergy have the same VLAN tag
- The two networks are shared across tenants
When a fabric manager is non compliant with APIC network policies, a software remediation enables a fabric manager to synchronize with network policies. A compliance report is generated immediately after adding a fabric manager and is updated again after remediation. The compliance report details actions that you can perform to remediate inconsistencies. There are indicators for compliant, noncompliant, and compliance-check progress for each resource. Every tenant has a list of consistent and inconsistent reports based on the compliance records generated for a tenant. An inconsistency appears in the form of an alert, which contains an action choice: auto-remediate or manual. If you choose to auto-remediate, an automatic update of the selected HPE OneView resource will initiate.
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.
Info
Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Network administrator.

-EnableAutomaticRemediation <SwitchParameter>
You can resolve your resource inconsistencies manually or automatically.
Automatic remediation
Automatically resolve resource inconsistencies, using the Automatic remediation option on the Add Fabric Manager or Edit Fabric Manager screen. When you enable this option, all inconsistencies that are eligible for automatic remediation are detected and resolved without your intervention.
When you disable automatic remediation, you must confirm to resolve all the inconsistencies that are eligible for remediation.
Info
By default, automatic remediation is disabled on fabric managers that were added in older versions of HPE OneView.
Manual remediation
Manual remediation means that the proposed remediation has a confict with the existing configuration of the HPE OneView and need to be resolved manually.
Use the activity log (Get-OVAlert) to view the remediation status of the inconsistencies. In the activity log, an alert is created for every inconsistency and a task is created for every remediation. The alert status of all inconsistencies that were resolved automatically is set to cleared. The alert status of all inconsistencies that require manual remediation remain active.
Use this parameter to enable automatic remediation. If you wish to explicitly disable, use -EnableAutomaticRemediation:$false
