To gain insight into the existing Cisco MDS fabric configuration, Brocade SAN Health and Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) are appropriate tools. Brocade SAN Health provides detailed reports and supports discovery for Cisco MDS switches. Cisco DCNM is specifically designed to manage Cisco data center networks and would provide detailed insights into the Cisco MDS fabric configuration.
AB Tricky question https://www.broadcom.com/support/fibre-channel-networking/tools/san-health
Indeed tricky, but Brocade San health has support for Cisco MDS as well, so I think you are right !
Correct answer is A and B. "Brocade SAN Health provides an accurate view of the SAN environment with fabric topologies and detailed performance metrics. Brocade SAN Health audit reports provide detailed color-coded hierarchical SAN insights from Brocade FOS, Brocade M-EOS, the Brocade Mi10K Director, and Cisco MDS switches. The tool supports discovery and reporting of both open systems and FICON fabrics." https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/12379730
