click) open dialog boxes or menus that display FRU properties or allow users to perform operations and maintenance tasks. Fabric Manager Application The Fabric Manager application works in conjunction with the HP EFC Manager application, and is a Java-based GUI for managing and monitoring multiple Fibre Channel fabrics. The application operates locally on the HP EFC Server, or through a network connection from a remote PC or workstation. The Fabric Manager application is used to configure zoning for a fabric. Topology View Click a pentagonal fabric icon at the Fabric View (Figure 9) to open the Fabric Manager application for that managed fabric. When the application opens, the default display is the Topology View (Figure 12). A graphical representation of the fabric topology appears at the right side of the window, and a navigation control panel with a series of icons appears at the left side of the window. The Topology View displays fabric elements (directors or switches) and ISLs for a multiswitch fabric. The graphical representation of the fabric emulates the configuration and status of the corresponding real fabric. A single director without ISLs is still considered a fabric. A status table at the top of the window displays the fabric's operational status, WWN, and the Domain ID of the principal switch. For a discussion about the principal switch, refer to the hp surestore director fc-64 Product Manager User's Guide (A6534-90907). Colored symbols appear on the graphical fabric elements to represent operational, degraded, or failed status. The colors and shapes are consistent with status displays on other windows in the HP EFC Manager and Product Manager applications. A fabric element without a colored status symbol represents a product that is not managed by the HP EFC Server on which the Fabric Manager is running (status information is therefore not available). The navigation control panel at the left side of the Topology View provides View, Configure, Help, and Close icons (with associated pop-up menus) that allow users to perform fabricspecific tasks. 44 Software Overview
