Menu bar Fabric tree Graphic window Data window Fabric/Switch name and status Data window tabs Figure 3 QuickTools interface Fabric tree The QuickTools web applet allows you to manage the switches in one fabric. The fabric tree (Figure 3) provides access to each switch faceplate display in the fabric. Click a switch name or icon to display that switch faceplate in the graphic window. The width of the fabric tree window can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the moveable window border. 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 the fabric is not normal, the fabric icon in the fabric tree will indicate the reason for the abnormal status. The same message is provided when you rest the mouse on the fabric icon in the fabric tree. Graphic window The graphic window shows either the front of a switch (the faceplate, as shown in Figure 3) or the back of the switch (the backplate). The height of the window can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the border that it shares with the data window. To view the faceplate display, select View > View Faceplate. To view the backplate display, select View > View Backplate. Data windows and tabs The data window (Figure 3) displays a table of data and statistics associated with the selected tab for the switch displayed in the graphic window. 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 is displayed. Click and drag the arrow to the desired width. The data windows and tabs are described below: 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools switch management user guide 15
