Switch View refresh rates
The Switch View display is refreshed at 15 second intervals. However, the initial display of Switch
Explorer might take from 30 to 60 seconds after the switch is booted. Refresh rates are fabric-size
dependent. The larger the fabric, the longer it takes to poll the fabric and refresh the view. F_Port
and L_Port connection changes refresh immediately.
Autorefresh intervals may be not be exactly 15 seconds. The refresh rate varies depending on the
activity in the fabric and on the host system you are using.
Switch Events and Switch Information
Switch Events and Switch Information appear as tab forms under Switch View.
Switch Information View displays switch information such as switch name, status, Fabric OS
version, domain ID, IP address, WWN, and current zone configuration. The information in the
Switch Information View is polled every 60 seconds.
For more information, see “Displaying switch information” on page 138.
Displaying tool tips
When you hover over the Web Tools buttons, the system displays a brief description of the button. If
you hover the cursor over most components, the system displays tool tip information about the
component.
In Fabric Tree you can hover over a switch to view its type, Ethernet IP, Fibre Channel IP, and status
of the switch.
In Switch View, you can hover over a blade to view the blade ID and its status. It is easier to use the
top of the blade to display the tool tip so that you do not inadvertently display the port tool tips.
Firmware versions and IP addressing are displayed for CP blades.
When you hover over a port, you can view the port number, port index, port type (E, F, L, or U_Port),
port status (online or offline), and port state (in-sync, no_sync, no light, or no module). If you
right-click the port, the system displays the tool tip information and the port world-wide name.
