The Display By drop-down menu provides four different identifiers you can use to view SAN elements
(name, IP address, domain ID, or WWN). Select the identifier that you want Fabric Manager to use as it
displays each element.
The contents of the Scope panel changes depending on what view is selected (see the different Scope
panels in Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-9). The View and Display By options are always available. When
Fabric View or Host-Storage View is selected, the Scope panel displays additional options, which are
described in detail in Chapter 5, “Viewing Fabric Topologies”.
The view that is selected in the Scope panel determines
the topology that is displayed in the View panel.
