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 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 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.

Displaying Fabric Information

The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic 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 ”Devices Data Window” on page 4-8and ”Switch Data Window” on page 4-8for information about the Name Server and Switch data windows.
