Switch View The Switch View displays a graphical representation of the selected switch, including a real-time view of switch and port status. This view is accessed by selecting a switch icon in the Fabric Tree. NOTE: The Switch View display is updated approximately once every 15 seconds. However, the initial display of the Switch Explorer might take from 30 to 60 seconds after the switch is booted. The layout of information is different for the Switch View of different switch types. See Figure 3 on page 26 through Figure 6 on page 29 for examples of different Switch Views. Switch View button menu The Switch View button menu is the launch point for the Switch Events screen, telnet interface, Fabric Watch module, Switch Admin module, Performance Monitor module, and High Availability (HA) Admin module. Some of these functions require a license key to activate. The Switch View button menu also includes buttons that display the status of the switch fans, temperature monitors, switch information, power supply, and beacon. If upfront login is enabled, the Switch View button menu also includes a Logout button. It is important to note that certain Fabric OS features are available only on particular switch types; therefore, the icons for those features are displayed only for those switch types. For example, the HA feature is available only on the Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director; therefore, the HA Admin button is displayed in the Switch View button menu only for those directors. The following buttons have a color-coded background, which indicates status for that area: • Status • Fan • Temp • Power • Hi Avail (HA) The colors follow the status legend (see "Status Legend"). Switch Information View The Switch Information View displays vital switch information such as name, status, Fabric OS version, domain ID, IP address, WWN, and current zone configuration. The information in the Switch Information View is polled every 15 seconds. The Switch Information View is located beside the graphic representation of the switch for the Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director. For all other switch types (4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/32, 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem, and SAN Switch 4/32), the Switch Information View is located beneath the graphic representation of the switch. For more information, see "Displaying switch information" on page 105. Status Legend The Status Legend is included in the Switch Information View and defines the meaning of colors visible in the background of the various icons in the Switch Explorer. Each color indicates a different operational state: • Green: healthy • Yellow: marginal • Red: critical • Gray: unknown or unmonitored Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide 31
