Fabric Manager Client Quick Tour
To change the fabric name using Fabric Manager, perform this task:

Step 2 Double click the fabric name and enter the new name of the fabric.
Step 3 Click Apply to change the name.
Filtering
Fabric Manager has a filtering mechanism that displays only the data that you are interested in. To filter
data, first select the fabric and VSAN from the Logical Domains pane. This action narrows the scope of
what is displayed in the Fabric pane. Any information that does not belong to the selected items is
dimmed. Also, any information that does not belong to the selected items is not displayed in the tables
in the Information pane. The filter that you select is displayed at the top right of the Fabric Manager
window (see Figure 5-8).
To further narrow the scope, select attributes from the Physical Attributes pane. The Fabric Manager
table, display, and filter criteria change accordingly.
Physical Attributes Pane
Use the Physical Attributes pane to display a tree of the options available for managing the switches in
the currently selected fabric, VSAN, or zone.
To select an option, click a folder to display the options available and then click the option. You see the
table with information for the selected option in the Information pane. The Physical Attributes pane
provides the following main folders:
• Switches—Views and configures hardware, system, licensing, and configuration files.
• Interfaces—Views and configures physical Fibre Channel, virtual Fibre Channel, Ethernet, SVC,
and SAN port channel interfaces.
• Fibre Channel Services—Views and configures Fibre Channel network configurations.
• Events—Views and configures events, alarms, thresholds, notifications, and informs.
• Security—Views and configures switch management and FC-SP security.
• End Devices—Views and configures end devices.
