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.

3.4.1

Adding a Fabric

To add a fabric to the database, do the following:

1.Open the Fabric menu and select Add Fabric to open the Add a New Fabric dialog shown in Figure 3-10.

Figure 3-10. Add a New Fabric Dialog

2.Enter a fabric name (optional) and the IP address of the switch through which to manage the fabric.

3.Enter an account name and password. The factory login name and password are "admin" and "password". The password is for the switch and is stored in the switch firmware. Refer to ”Managing User Accounts” on page 4-2or the ”User Command” on page A-120for information about creating user accounts.
