Chapter 5 Fabric Manager Client
Fabric Manager Client Quick Tour
Note The same user name and password must be used to log into multiple fabrics.
The information for both fabrics is displayed; you do not need to choose a seed switch. To see details of
a fabric, click the tab for that fabric at the bottom of the Fabric pane, or double-click the Cloud icon for
the fabric in the SAN tab.
Note Enclosure names should be unique. If the same enclosure name is used for each port, Fabric Manager
shows a host/target enclosure connected to both fabrics. To fix this problem, you can either disable
auto-creation or create unique enclosure names.
Filtering by Groups
You can filter the Fabric pane display by creating groups of switches or end ports. To create a group in
Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Right-click a switch or end port in the Fabric pane map and choose Group > Create.
You see the Edit User Defined Group dialog box shown in Figure 5-9.
