Saving and comparing SAN configurations
You can save the current SAN connection configuration (see “Saving the current configuration,” page 46),
and compare that configuration with a previous configuration (see “Comparing configurations,” page 46).
Saving the current configuration
Simple SAN Connection Manager provides the ability to save a graphical topology of your current SAN
that can be easily viewed to note any changes made to your system. You should save your SAN
connections before making changes so that you can then see the differences (see “Comparing
configurations,” page 46).
To save a configuration:
• On the File menu, click Save current SAN connection.
NOTE: Simple SAN Connection Manager automatically saves the current configuration when you close
the application.
Comparing configurations
Simple SAN Connection Manager provides the ability to compare any changes to your current SAN with
the previous configuration.
To compare a configuration:
1. On the File menu, click Compare current and previous SAN connection.
The Compare Current and Previous Configuration dialog box (Figure 24) opens.
