Switch Manager

Displaying graphs

1.Select Fabric > Add Fabric. The Add a New Fabric dialog box is displayed.

2.Enter a fabric name and an IP address.

3.Enter an account name and a password, if required.

4.Set the graphing options and polling frequency.

By default, HP StorageWorks Fabric View plots total bytes transmitted and received at a polling frequency of once per second. See “Customizing graphs” on page 94 for information about changing what is plotted and how it is plotted.

5.You can display graphs in the following ways:

—Click on a switch entry handle and select one or more ports.

—Right-click on a switch icon in the fabric tree, and then select Open Graph for All Ports on Switch or Open Graph for All Logged-In Ports on Switch from the menu.

6.You can move graphs around individually by clicking and dragging, or you can arrange them as a group. See “Arranging graphs in the display” on page 94 for more information.

Removing graphs

1.After viewing the graph, click Remove.

2.To remove all graphs, select Window > Close All. To remove a fabric and its graphs:

1.Select the fabric in the fabric tree.

2.Select Fabric > Remove Fabric. You can also right-click on a fabric and then select Remove Fabric for the menu.

Right-clicking on a graph opens a menu from which you can change graph options, print a graph, or save the graph statistics to a file.

Arranging graphs in the display

To arrange and size graphs in the display, select Window > Cascade, Tile, or Close All.

■Cascade overlaps the graphs so that all graphs are at least partially visible.

■Tile arranges the graphs in non-overlapping rows and columns.

■Close All closes all graphs.

You can also click a graph on the Window menu to bring that graph to the front.

Customizing graphs

You can customize the graph polling frequency, what is plotted in the graphs, and the graph color scheme. To set the polling frequency for all graphs, refer to “Setting the polling frequency” on page 93.

1.Select Graph > Modify Graph Options. The Default Graph Options dialog box is displayed (Figure 38).
