1When McDATA and Connectrix switches are discovered through a proxy by SNMP, you cannot
view or perform any provisioning operations for those switches.
2Only these options are accessible when McDATA and Connectrix switches are discovered by a
switch IP address directly through SNMP. This setting provides view only access to the active zone
set and its members. You cannot create, modify, and/or delete zone sets or its members.
3The delete zone set option is disabled for active zone sets.
Viewing Storage Elements
System Manager has a wide range of features to help you in viewing your storage elements in the
topology. For example, you can filter fabrics, arrange elements in the topology, and search for
elements in the topology. You can even view the status of elements in the topology and find the
impact of removing an element.
