Rediscovering a Fabric
After making changes to or deleting switches from a fabric view, it may be helpful to again view the actual fabric configuration. The rediscover fabric option clears out the current fabric information being displayed, and rediscovers all switch information. To rediscover a fabric, open the Fabric menu, and select Rediscover Fabric. The rediscover function is more comprehensive than the refresh function.
3.4.6
Deleting Switches and Links
The SANsurfer Switch Manager application does not automatically delete switches or links that have failed or have been physically removed from the fabric. In these cases, you can delete switches and links to bring the display up to date. If you delete a switch or a link that is still active, the SANsurfer Switch Manager application will restore it automatically. You can also refresh the display. To delete a switch from the topology display, do the following:
1.Select one or more switches in the topology display.
2.Open the Switch menu and select Delete.
To delete a link, do the following:
1.Select one or more links in the topology display.
2.Open the Switch menu and select Delete.
