Enable, the current fabric view is automatically saved to your default fabric view file upon exiting future Switch Manager sessions. To prevent Switch Manager from prompting you to save the default fabric view file between Switch Manager sessions, set the View File Auto Save and Load preferences setting to Enable (default).
Saving and opening fabric view files A fabric view file is one or more fabrics saved to a file. In addition to the Switch Manager default fabric view file, you can save and open your own fabric view files.
Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog box, the next time Switch Manager is started, all events from the switch alarm log is displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when Switch Manager is started and later enabled, only those events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward are displayed.

The same message is provided when you rest the mouse over the fabric icon in the fabric tree. The fabric tree provides access to the topology and faceplate displays for any fabric or switch. To open the topology display from the fabric tree, click a fabric entry.
The data window tabs present options for the type of information to display in the data window. These options vary depending on the display. Working status indicator The working status indicator, located in the lower right corner of the Switch Manager window (Figure 6), shows when the management workstation is exchanging information with the fabric.
You select switches and links to display information about them, modify their configuration, or delete them from the display. Context-sensitive menus are displayed when right-clicking on a switch or link icon, or in the background of the topology display graphic window.

A fabric database contains the set of fabrics that you have added during a Switch Manager session. Initially, if you do not open an existing fabric or fabric view file, the Switch Manager application opens with an empty fabric database.
Figure 12: Add a New Fabric dialog box 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, password.
The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without a gateway or boot protocol configured (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP). If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default fabric configuration, do the following: 1.
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 Switch Manager application automatically restores itself. The display can also be refreshed.
Deleting a link To delete a link: 1. Select one or more links in the topology display, and then select Switch > Delete. Displaying fabric information The topology display is the primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic window of the topology display provides status information for switches and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.
Switch Manager application. Events are generated by the Switch Manager application and are not saved on the switch, but can be saved to a file during the Switch Manager session. Entries in the Event Browser are formatted by severity, time stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed is 1500.
Events that are generated by the application are not saved on the switch. They are permanently discarded when you close a Switch Manager session, but you can save these events to a file on the workstation before closing Switch Manager and can read it later with a text editor or browser.
You can also open the Sort menu and then select By Severity, By Timestamp, By Source, By Type, or By Description. Successive sort operations of the same type alternate between ascending and descending order. HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide Switch Manager (Figure...

A device may participate in more than one zone. Membership in a zone can be defined by switch domain ID and port number, device Fibre Channel address, or device World Wide Name (WWN).
Zoning database Each switch has its own zoning database. The zoning database is made up of all aliases, zones, and zone sets that have been created on the switch or received from other switches. The switch maintains two copies of the inactive zoning database: one copy is maintained in temporary memory for editing purposes;...
Switch Manager. The Interop Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives from another switch in the fabric is saved to permanent memory on that switch. Interop Auto Save is not supported at this time. The Default Visibility parameter permits or prohibits communication among ports/devices when there is no active zone set.
If Interop Auto Save is disabled, changes to the active zone set are stored only in temporary memory, which is cleared when the switch is reset. Interop Auto Save is not supported at this time.
If the zone sets to merge have the same Zone A that only differ in the type of zone (soft vs. hard), the zone sets merge. If this is a 2 switch fabric, Switch 1 states that Zone A is soft and Switch 2 states that Zone A is ACL.

You can edit this copy of the active zone set stored on the switch, and activate the updated copy to apply the changes to the active zone set. The edited copy then becomes the active zone set.

You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the fabric.
Right-click the Zone Sets heading at the top of the Zone Sets tree, and then select Clear Zoning from the menu. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete all zone sets and zones. HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide Switch Manager (Figure 17).

Command Line Interface Logging on to a switch To log on to a switch using a Telnet session, open a command line window on the workstation and enter the Telnet command followed by the switch IP address: # telnet ip_address A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login.
An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes at the same time either through Telnet or Switch Manager. You must also open a Config Edit session with the Config Edit command and indicate which configuration you want to modify. If you do not specify a configuration name, the active configuration is assumed.
Use FTP to download the configdata file to your workstation for safe keeping and to upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the configdata file, open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images.
The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the workstation to the switch, and then finishes with a Telnet session and the Config Restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003 in this case, open and FTP session with account name images and password images.
Opens and closes an Admin session. The Admin session provides commands that change the fabric and switch configurations. Only one Admin session can be open on the switch at any time. An inactive Admin session times out after a period of time which can be changed using the Set Setup System command.
