Displaying the Name Server entries
Web Tools displays Name Server entries listed in the Simple Name Server database (see Figure 28
on page 60). This includes all Name Server entries for the fabric, not only those related to the local
domain. Each row in the table represents a different device. You can click the column head to sort
the events by a particular column, and drag the column divider to resize a column. You can also
right-click a column heading to resize one or all columns, sort the information in ascending or
descending order, or choose which columns are displayed.
Admin Domain considerations: The Name Server able is filtered based on Admin Domain
membership of the fabric devices. The Name Server table shows only devices that are part of the
Admin Domain you are currently logged in to. This includes devices that are direct members of the
Admin Domain and devices that are attached to ports that are direct members of the Admin
Domain. All other fabric devices are filtered out of the Name Server view for the current Admin
Domain. See Admin Domain membership” on page 97 for information about direct and indirect
members.
For FICON devices: The Name Server table shows the request node identification (RNID)
information.
