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 Macintosh OS X.
Choose the fabric discovery interval. The fabric discovery interval is how often the SANsurfer Switch Manager application receives information from the fabric. Choose 30 (default), 45, or 60 seconds. The smaller the interval, the more often the application talks to the switch and thus the greater impact to performance.
Enable (default) or disable the view file auto save and load feature. Refer to ”Exiting SANsurfer Switch Manager” on page
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
