Fabric Manager displays three types of topography views:
The Fabric View and Host-Storage View also allow you to display zone configurations.
Displaying Monitored Fabrics
In the Scope panel, click SAN View from the View drop-down menu. The View panel displays all of the
monitored fabrics in the database, as shown in Figure 5-5.
Figure 5-5 Displaying Monitored Fabrics in the SAN View
The background color of the fabric label indicates the status of the fabric, which is determined by the
most severe status of all of the switches in the fabric. The status hierarchy, from most severe to least is:
Down, Marginal, Unknown, and Healthy.
For example, in Figure 5-5 all of the switches in the fabric FM_200E_90 are healthy; in fabric
sw4100_wt161, at least one switch has Marginal status, and none are in Down status.
SAN View Displays all of the monitored fabrics in the database.
Fabric View Displays the topology of a single fabric; its focus is on the switches and their
interconnectivity.
Host-Storage View Displays all of the monitored fabrics and their attached devices; its focus is on
end-to-end connectivity.
