Replacing a failed switch module in a fabric
Complete the following steps to replace a failed switch module for which an archive is available. See “Restoring a switch module” on page 128 and “Archiving a switch module” on page 108 for more information.
1.Remove the failed switch module. For more information, see the Installation Guide.
2.Install the new replacement switch module. For more information, see the Installation Guide.
3.Log in to the fabric through the replacement switch module. In the Topology window, select the replacement switch module from the fabric tree.
4.Click Switch / Restore.
The Restore Switch window opens.
5.In the Restore Switch window, type a name or select the archived switch configuration file to copy to the switch module. For more information, see “Archiving a switch module” on page 108.

Deleting switch modules and links from the Topology display
The SAN Utility does not automatically delete switch modules or links that have failed or that are physically removed. In this case, you can delete switch modules and links in the Topology window to bring the display up to date. If you delete a switch or a link that is still active, the SAN Utility restores it automatically. You can also refresh the display.
Complete the following steps to delete a switch module in the Topology window:
1.Select one or more switch modules in the Topology window.
2.Click Switch / Delete.
Complete the following steps to delete a link:
1.Select one or more links in the Topology window.
2.Click Switch / Delete.
Displaying fabric information
The Topology window is the primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphics window of the Topology window provides status information for switch modules, interswitch links, and the Ethernet connection to the network management workstation.
The data window tabs show name server, switch, and active zone set information. The Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. See “Switch Data window” on page 100 and “Name Server Data window” on page 115 for information about the Switch Data and Name Server Data windows.
Fabric status
The fabric updates the Topology and Faceplate windows by forwarding changes in status to the network management workstation as they occur. Use the fabric to update the display status, or you can refresh the display at any time. To refresh the Topology window, use one of the following methods:
•In the Topology window, click Refresh.
•Click View / Refresh.
•Press the F5 key.
