Error description
After adding switches in the same fabric - 3 different physical fabrics appear for them one for each switch, and then the Logical Fabric changes the parent fabric with the fabric that is last probed. (physical switch contained by the physical fabric last probed.) EXPECTED RESULT: There should be only one Physical fabric since the switches are physically connected, and then the Logical fabric that contains 3 logical switches should have as parent the Physical fabric containing all the 3 physical switches. Additional side effects of this problem include strange things seen in the Web UI: 1. For the Switches panel, the 'Links' information for a physical switch may be wrong. 2. For a physical Switch's detailed view, the Internal Resources menu may incorrectly have no Inter-Switch Connections available, or may list only a subset of the Inter-Switch Connections. 3. For a physical Switch's detailed view, the Internal Resources menu's Ports table may incorrectly list the Connected Resource and Connected Port as 'Unavailable' when the connected port is on a switch that is managed by TPC. 4. The Inter-Switch Link name for a link between two switches may incorrectly only include one of the two managed switches' names. This does not occur if the fabrics were first added using the DCNM SMI Agent.
