You can switch between fabrics by clicking on their respective tabs. • Log-Displays messages that describe Fabric Manager operations, such as fabric discovery. • Events-Displays information about the SNMP traps received by the management station. This includes combination events as detected by discovery and important traps such as license, SNMP, and FICON. When viewing large fabrics in the Fabric pane, it is helpful to do the following tasks: • Turn off end device labels. • Collapse loops. • Collapse expanded multiple links (collapsed multiple links are shown as very thick single lines). • Dim or hide portions of your fabric by VSAN. Note When a VSAN, zone, or zone member is selected in the VSAN tree, the map highlighting changes to identify the selected objects. To remove this highlighting, click the Clear Highlight button on the Fabric pane toolbar or choose Clear Highlight from the pop-up menu. Context Menus When you right-click an icon in the Fabric pane, you see a pop-up menu with options that vary depending on the type of icon selected. The various options available for different objects include the following: • Open an instance of Device Manager for the selected switch. • Open a CLI session for the selected switch. • Copy the display name of the selected object. • Execute a ping or traceroute command for the device. • Show or hide end devices. • View attributes. • Quiesce and disable members for PortChannels. • Set the trunking mode for an ISL. • Create or add to a PortChannel for selected ISLs. The Fabric pane has its own toolbar with options for saving, printing, and changing the appearance of the map. When you right-click the map, a pop-up menu appears that provides options (duplicated on the toolbar) for changing the appearance of the map. Note You can launch web-based or non-web-based applications from the Fabric pane. To do this, you assign an IP address to the storage port or enclosure. Then right-click to bring up the pop-up menu, and select Device Manager. Saving the Map You can save the map in the Fabric Pane as an image, or as an editable Visio diagram. You can save the map with or without labels on the links. The created Visio diagram is editable and saved in two layers: • The default layer includes all switches and links in the fabric. 5-26 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide OL-17256-03, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
