Viewing System Information for Individual Chassis Switches
When you log in to a selected ISS or IXS, you can use the System tab of the Switch Blade Agent to access
information about any switch, not just the selected one.
To view system information for a chassis switch:
1. Open the Switch Blade Agent (see “Avid ISIS | 7500 Switch Blade Agent” on page 155).
2. Click the System tab if it is not already selected.
The System window opens.
3. In the Management Domain area, click a switch listed in the Serial Number column.
The Agent displays information for the switch in the Main display area.
Setting Chassis Time
You can set the time for all Storage Managers connected to your chassis switch by using the Switch Blade Agent.
You can also use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to establish the time for your system. Setting chassis time
synchronizes the time for all Storage Managers and, in systems with multiple chassis, on all switches.

ISB within a certain time limit. The check box is selected (enabled) by
default.
