Displaying fabric information, Fabric status | HP AA-RW20A-TE

CAUTION: Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning configuration.

c.Power up the switch.

3.Select the failed switch in the topology display. Select Switch > Delete.

4.Restore the configuration from the failed switch to the replacement switch:

a.Open a new fabric through the replacement switch. Refer to ”Adding a fabric” on page 39 for more information.

b.Open the faceplate display for the replacement switch. Select Switch > Restore.

c.In the Restore dialog, enter the archive file from the failed switch or browse for the file.

d.Click Restore.

5.Reset the replacement switch to activate the configuration formerly possessed by the failed switch including the domain ID and the zoning database. Select Switch > Reset Switch. Refer to ”Resetting a switch” on page 75 for more information.

6.Reconnect the inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices to the replacement switch using the same ports as were used on the failed switch.

Displaying fabric information

The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic window of the topology display provides status information for switches, inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.

The data window tabs show device, switch, link, and active zone set information. The Active Zoneset data window shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. Refer to ”Devices data window” on page 46 and ”Switch data window” on page 68 for information about the Devices and Switch data windows.

Fabric status

The fabric updates the topology and faceplate displays by forwarding changes in status to the management workstation as they occur. You can allow the fabric to update the display status, or you can refresh the display at any time. To refresh the topology display, choose one of the following:

•Click Refresh.

•Select View > Refresh.

•Press F5.

•Right-click in the background of the topology display, and select Refresh Fabric from the popup menu.
