Fibre Channel switch module and link status

The Fibre Channel switch module icon shape and color provide information about the switch and its operational state. In the Topology window, lines represent links between switch modules. See Table 16 for Fibre Channel switch module and link status and “Fabric status” on page 86 for more information about other Topology window icons.

Table 16. Fibre Channel switch module and link status indicators

Switch module icon color	Status

Green	Normal Fibre Channel switch operation

Amber	Operational with errors

Red	Inactive or Fibre Channel switch failure

Blue	Unknown Fibre Channel device

Working with switch modules and links

Switch module and link icons are selectable and moveable and serve as access points for other windows and menus. You select switch modules and links to display information, modify configurations, or delete them from the window. The context-sensitive pop-up menus are accessible through the switch module and link icons.

Click a switch module or link in the graphic window to display its status in the data window. To select multiple switch modules or links, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting. When no switch modules or links are selected, information about all switch modules is displayed. To deselect a switch module or link that is currently selected, click the switch or link.

Different switch module icons will be displayed depending on the different switch vendor products present in the attached fabric. See Table 17 on page 87 for a list of switch module icons and vendors. Attached switch modules that are not manageable through the SAN Utility will be displayed as “third-party manageable” switch icons. The topology configuration in Figure 6 on page 80 shows an example of a switch fabric with third-party switch modules.
