Topology views
Fabric Manager displays the following four types of topography views:
The Fabric View and Host-Storage View also allow you to display zone configurations.
Displaying monitored fabrics
In the Scope panel, click SAN View from the View menu.
The View panel displays all of the monitored fabrics in the database, as shown in Figure 56.
FIGURE 56 Displaying monitored fabrics in the SAN View
The background color of the fabric label indicates the status of the fabric, which is determined by
the most severe status of all of the switches in the fabric. The status hierarchy, from most severe to
least is: Down, Marginal, Healthy, Missing, Unknown, User disabled, and Unmonitored.
For example, in Figure 56 all of the switches in the fabric FM_200E_90 are healthy; in fabric
sw4100_wt161, at least one switch has Marginal status, and none are in Down status.
Displaying backbone and edge fabrics
In the Scope panel, click MetaSAN View from the menu.
The View panel displays the edge fabrics connected with the backbone fabric. If you select a
backbone fabric, the LSAN zones associated with the selected backbone fabric are also
shown. The MetaSAN View is shown in Figure 57.
SAN View Displays all of the monitored fabrics in the database.
Fabric View Displays the topology of a single fabric; its focus is on the switches and their
interconnectivity.
Host-Storage View Displays all of the monitored fabrics and their attached devices; its focus is
on end-to-end connectivity.
MetaSAN View Displays backbone and edge fabrics, as well as LSAN information.
