About the Properties Tab

The Properties tab provides detailed information about an element. Since the information obtained from each type of element varies, the Properties tab displays information only relevant for that type of element. For example, the Properties tab for fabrics lists the zones, zone sets, switches, and zone aliases, as compared to the Properties tab for a host, which lists the processors, cards, applications, and storage volumes the host uses.

See ”Viewing Fabric Properties” on page 277 for more information about the Properties tab for fabrics.

The Properties tab usually provides the following, although this list does vary from element to element:

•*Assign a Custom Name - To make it easier to identify the element, assign the element a Custom Name. See the topic, ”Assigning a Custom Name” on page 277. This option is not available to all elements.

•*IP Address (Generic Hosts Only) - Type an IP address for a generic host.

•*DNS Name (Generic Hosts Only) - Type a DNS name for a generic host.
