1–Using Enterprise Fabric Suite
Enterprise Fabric Suite User Interface
59266-01 B 1-15
Next to each fabric tree entry is a small icon that uses color to indicate operational
status:
A green icon indicates normal operation.
A yellow icon indicates that a switch is operational, but may require attention
to maintain maximum performance.
A red icon indicates a potential failure or non-operational state, as when the
switch is offline.
A blue icon indicates that a switch is unknown, unreachable, or
unmanageable.
If the status of a fabric is not normal, the fabric icon on the fabric tree indicates the
reason for the abnormal status. The same message is provided when you rest the
pointer on the fabric icon on the fabric tree.
The small lock icon next to the fabric icon on the fabric tree indicates a secure
fabric connection using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The Security menu is
available only for the entry switch (out-of-band switch) on a secure fabric. On the
Switch menu, click Services to enable the SSL service for that switch. You must
then close the fabric and re-establish a secure connection to the fabric using SSL.
Graphic Window
The graphic window shows fabric, switch, and port information in the forms of the
fabric topology display, switch faceplate display (Figure 1-10), and switch
backplate display (Figure 1-11). To view the faceplate display, click a switch or
stack on the fabric tree, and on the View menu, click View Faceplate. To view the
backplate display, on the View menu, click View Backplate. You can adjust the
height of the graphic window by clicking and dragging the border that it shares
with the data window.
Data Windows and Tabs
The data window (Figure 1-9) displays a table of data and statistics associated
with the selected tab for the fabric, stack, or switch displayed on the graphic
window. The available data window tabs vary depending on the display. The
following data windows and tabs are available:
Devices—displays information about devices (hosts and storage targets)
connected to the switch. For more information, see “Devices Data Window”
on page 2-26.
Active Zoneset—displays the active zone set for the fabric including zones
and their member ports. For more information about this data window, see
“Viewing Active and Configured Zone Set Information” on page 4-4. For
information about zone sets and zones, see “Zoning Concepts” on page 4-1.
