Starting SANsurfer Performance Viewer
To start SANsurfer Performance Viewer from within SANsurfer Switch Manager, open the topology display and select Start Performance Viewer from the Fabric menu. When starting the SANsurfer Performance Viewer application from the SANsurfer Switch Manager application on Linux and Solaris platforms, the fabric currently displayed in the SANsurfer Switch Manager topology display opens automatically in the SANsurfer Performance Viewer topology display. On Windows platforms, you will need to manually open the fabric in the SANsurfer Performance Viewer topology display.
Note: On the Solaris platforms, if you launch the SANsurfer Performance Viewer application from the SANsurfer Switch Manager application and SANsurfer Performance Viewer can not connect to the fabric, (for example, if you have reached the maximum number of SANsurfer Switch Manager sessions on the entry switch), then SANsurfer Performance Viewer opens with a blue fabric icon displayed in the fabric tree. The reason for status displayed after the fabric name in the fabric tree will indicate the reason for failure to connect.

Exiting SANsurfer Performance Viewer
To exit a SANsurfer Performance Viewer session, open the File menu and select Exit. The current fabric view is automatically saved to your default performance view file upon exit, if you have defined an encryption key. The key is encrypted and saved with your default performance view file. A performance view file contains the set of fabrics that have been added and the graphs that have been opened during a SANsurfer Performance Viewer session. If you have not yet defined an encryption key, the Save Default Performance View File dialog, shown in Figure
In the Save Default Performance View File dialog, enter an encryption key in the Default Performance File Encryption Key field.
