Creating a customized view

You may want to customize the Product List and Connectivity Map to simplify management of large

SANs by limiting the topology size or Product List columns.

For each customized view, you can specify the fabrics and hosts that display on the Connectivity

Map, as well as the columns and device groupings that display on the Product List.

Customized view settings reside on the server. Only users with the same login to the same server

can see and select the view settings. No individual user can have access to the views created by

another user.

If you select a customized view and new devices are discovered, those new devices display in the

customized view if they belong in that view category or fabric.

1. Use one of the following methods to open the Create View dialog box:

• Select View > Manage View > Create View.

• Select Create View from the View All list. The View All list does not display until you discover

a fabric or host.

The Create View dialog box displays.

NOTE
