Status indicators
The colors that appear throughout the GUI (for example, as icon backgrounds in the SAN Elements tab, as
background headers in the At-A-Glance views, or as status indicators) provide a quick, visual status. These
colors correspond to the Status Legend available from the Help menu (Help > Status Legend):
• Green = healthy
• Yellow = marginal
• Red = down
• Orange = missing switch
• Blue = unknown
• Gray = unmonitored
• Dark gray = user disabled
By default, persistently disabled ports are yellow. To change the default color:
1. Select Configuration > FM Options.
2. Expand User Specific and select General.
3. Select the desired color.
Content pane
Each SAN element you select has different views available to help you monitor their status. The view
selector bar provides access to each available view for the element you have selected. You can view ( )
or hide the view selector bar using the appropriate view selector icon. In Figure 3 on page 41, with the
SAN Node selected from the SAN Elements tab, only the Overview and Alerts views are available.
Views
Several views can be displayed, depending on which SAN element you select from the SAN Elements tab.
Not all views are available for all SAN elements. Figure 11 on page 48 shows some sample views.
• The Overview view provides a graphical representation of the child elements for the item selected from
the SAN Elements tab. The child elements are displayed in At-A-Glance windows in the Overview view.
• The Alerts view displays all the alerts that you configured to be generated by Fabric Manager: switch
status, switch unreachable, Change Management triggered alerts, and alerts from Performance
Monitoring.
• The Topology view provides a graphical representation of the elements that Fabric Manager monitors
and all of their connections.
• The Switches view provides a complete description of each switch in the selected fabric.
• The Ports view provides detailed information on every port in the switch you select from the SAN
Elements tab.
• The Device Ports view lists the device ports attached to the selected element from the SAN Elements tab.
Use the filter tab to filter out elements. This example shows
only the fabrics with IP addresses starting with 10.33.
