Viewing and Comparing Version Snapshots

The Differences tab page shows a side-by-side comparison of two snapshots. The timestamp of each snapshot is displayed above the scroll area showing that snapshot. The background color of the older snapshot is darker than the background of the newer snapshot. The arrow icon between the snapshot selectors always points from the older snapshot to the newer one. If the two snapshots have the same timestamp, the arrow will not be displayed. The scroll bars are synchronized to view the same portion of each snapshot file simultaneously. Click and drag the separator bar between the two panes to resize each pane. At the top of the separator bar between the two panes, click the left/right arrows to close the corresponding pane. The left/right arrows move to one side.

The Summary report type shows the same format displayed on the Summary tab page without the color highlighting. The Detail report type shows a detailed breakdown of the differences. Use the Export button to save the selected report to a text file.

Managing the Fabric Database

A fabric database contains the set of fabrics that you have added during a SANsurfer Switch Manager session. Initially, if you do not open an existing fabric or fabric view file, the SANsurfer Switch Manager application opens with an empty fabric database.
