Deleting Switches and Links
The SANbox Manager application does not automatically delete switches or links that have failed or have been physically removed from the Fibre Channel network. 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 SANbox 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:

Displaying Fabric Information
The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphics window of the topology display provides status information for switches, inter- switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.
The data window tabs show name server, switch, and active zone set information. The Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. Refer to ”Name Server Data Window” on page
3.3.1
Fabric Status
The fabric updates the topology and faceplate displays by forwarding changes in status to the management workstation as they occur. You can allow the fabric to update the display status, or you can refresh the display at any time. To refresh the topology display, do one of the following:
Choose the Refresh button.
Open the View menu and select Refresh.
Press the F5 key.
