Viewing Product and Fabric Data
The Products page provides the user a quick glance at the devices in the fabric, as
well as direct hyperlink access to fabric participants that support the EWS interface.
The devices are shown in separate product cells organized by domain ID in numerical
order.
NOTE: EWS utilizes embedded OSMS functionality to gain information about other switches in
the fabric through in-band (FC) based requests. None of the devices in the fabric (neither the
hosting device nor the queried devices) require feature-key enablement of OSMS to utilize this
capability.
Each device on the fabric is shown in a separate box called a product cell. The boxes
consist of a list of properties for the device, and a graphic showing the product and a
symbol that represents the status of the product.
The information shown in the product cells reflects the state of devices as recorded
before the information displayed. This information does not update automatically. You
must refresh the screen manually to see the most recent information. Click the
Refresh icon at the top right of the window.
NOTE: If the message Attempting to Collect Data displays in a product cell, you may
want to reload the page, because it will not update automatically after the initial view is loaded.
Parts of the Product Cell
The product cell has the following parts:
• A graphic representation of the device and its status. For more information, see
Parts of the Product Graphic on page 4-16.
• Information about the device. For more information, see the next section, Product
Cell Information.
• View Topology text that acts as a hyperlink to the Topology page for the fabric
(firmware 04.00.00 and higher only). Choose this hyperlink to view the Topology
page. (The hyperlink is found only on the Edge Switch 2/16, Edge Switch 2/32,
Edge Switch 2/24, Director 2/64, and Director 2/140.) Other HP high availability
fabric Directors and Switches and non-HP products do not have this hyperlink.
