About the Topology
The software determines the topology by looking at the following:
• Fibre Channel switch - The Fibre Channel switch contains a list of all elements within the fabric.
The software obtains a detailed listing of all elements connected to the switch fabric.
• A host containing a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) - All Fibre Channel host adapters look for available
elements attached to the HBA. This information is gathered by CIM extensions and sent to the
management server.
Table 30 on page 405 provides details about how to correct problems that might occur during
discovery and data collection.
