provides a graphical representation of the elements that Fabric Manager monitors and all of their
connections. This includes logical SANs (LSANs) and any virtual switches and links associated with
them.
See the following sections for information about the using View panel:
• “Understanding the View Panel” on page 5-1
• “Topology Views” on page 5-5
• “Viewing Link Information” on page 5-9
Understanding the View Panel
The View panel displays a topological view of the SAN or fabric based on the view you select in the
Scope panel (see Figure 5-1). This view is a filtered view that displays only those elements in your
current Admin Domain.
