Links Do Not Reconfigure After Disruptive
Failover
Links sometimes do not reconfigure correctly in the core-edge topology mode after a disruptive HA
failover, causing them to be out of proportion.
Whenever the ISL links that connect to the nodes end up out of proportion, select any of the ISL link
styles and the topology layout issue is then corrected.
Nodes Overlap
If you move nodes then redo the view in the tree layout, the nodes can sometimes overlap.

Locating Fabric Manager License Key and Serial
Number
Fabric Manager v5.2.0 and later stores the serial number and license key in a file each time a user
successfully registers Fabric Manager. The file name is fmlicense.txt and should be in the local Fabric
Manager user directory. The file contains the version of Fabric Manager installed, the serial number,
license key, license type, and licensing date.
