HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Enterprise Fabric Management Suite User Guide 19
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 in the fabric tree indicates the reason for the abnormal
status. The same message is provided when you rest the pointer on the fabric icon in the fabric tree.
The small lock icon next to the fabric icon in 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. Select Switch > 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 8), and switch backplate display (Figure 9). To view the faceplate display,
select a switch or stack in the fabric tree, and select View > View Faceplate. To view the backplate display,
select View > 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 7) displays a table of data and statistics associated with the selected tab for the
fabric, stack, or switch displayed in 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” (page 39).
• Transparent Routes—Displays the currently configured inter-fabric zones/routes using a TR_Port. For
more information about the Transparent Routes data window, see ”Transparent Routes data window”
(page 44). For information about the transparent router feature, see ”Transparent router” (page 42).
• 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”
(page 51). For information about zone sets and zones, see ”Zoning concepts” (page 49).
• Switch—Displays current network and switch configuration data for the selected switch. For more
information, see ”Switch data window” (page 84).
• Link—Displays a list of the inter-switch links in the fabric. For information on switch links, see ”Link data
window” (page 33).
• Stack Links—Displays a list of the inter-switch links in the stack. For information on switch links, see
”Stack Links data window” (page 89).
• Port Statistics—Displays performance data for the selected ports. For more information, see ”Port
Statistics data window” (page 131).
• Port Information—Displays information for the selected ports. For more information, see ”Port
Information data window” (page 127).
• Configured Zonesets—Displays all zone sets, zones, and zone membership in the zoning database. A
zone is a named group of ports or devices. For more information, see ”Viewing active and configured
zone set information” (page 51).
Use the scroll bar to browse through the data. To adjust the length of the window, click and drag the
border that it shares with the graphic window. To adjust the column width, move the pointer over the
column heading border shared by two columns until a right/left arrow graphic appears. Click and drag
the arrow to the preferred width.
