Setting SANsurfer Switch Manager Preferences

Using the preferences settings, you can:

Change the location of the working directory in which to save files.

Change the location of the browser used to view the online help. The Browser Location field is not supported/displayed for Mac OS X platforms.

Enable (default) or disable the view file auto save and load feature. Refer to “Exiting SANsurfer Switch Manager” on page 2-13for more information on the default fabric view file.

Enable (default) or disable the use of the Initial Start Dialog at the beginning of a SANsurfer Switch Manager session. Refer to “Starting SANsurfer Switch Manager” on page 2-10for information about the Initial Start Dialog. After a default fabric view file is created, this setting has no effect.

Enable (default) or disable the display of the Nonsecure Connection Check dialog upon login when establishing a nonsecure connection.

Enable (default) or disable the Event Browser. Refer to “Displaying the Event Browser” on page 3-11. If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog as shown in Figure 2-5, the next time SANsurfer Switch Manager is started, all events will be displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when SANsurfer Switch Manager is started and later enabled, only those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be displayed.

Choose the default port view when opening the faceplate display. You can set the faceplate to reflect the current port type (default), port speed, port operational state, or port transceiver media. Regardless of the default port view you choose, you can change the port view in the faceplate display by opening the View menu and selecting a different port view option. Refer to the corresponding subsection for more information:

“Port Types” on page 5-2

“Displaying Port Operational States” on page 5-3

“Displaying Port Speeds” on page 5-3
