Filtering
Fabric Manager has a filtering mechanism that displays only the data that you are interested in. To filter,
first select the fabric and VSAN from the Logical Domains pane. This action narrows the scope of what
is displayed in the Fabric pane. Any information that does not belong to the selected items is dimmed.
Also, any information that does not belong to the selected items is not displayed in the tables in the
Information pane. As shown in
Figure 5-9, the filter that you select is displayed at the top right of the
Fabric Manager window.
To further narrow the scope, select attributes from the Physical Attributes pane. The Fabric Manager
table, display, and filter criteria change accordingly.
Physical Attributes Pane
Use the Physical Attributes pane to display a tree of the options available for managing the switches in
the currently selected fabric, VSAN, or zone.
To select an option, click a folder to display the options available and then click the option. You see the
table with information for the selected option in the Information pane. The Physical Attributes pane
provides the following main folders:
• Switches—Views and configures hardware, system, licensing, and configuration files.
• Interfaces—Views and configures FC physical, FC logical, Ethernet, SVC, and PortChannel
interfaces.
• FC Services—Views and configures Fibre Channel network configurations.
