Fabrics View

Select the Fabrics tab at the Products View to open the Fabrics View
(Figure 17). When the Fabrics View opens, the Topology tab displays by default.
The left panel displays an expandable Fabrics tree that lists managed fabrics,
director, and switch elements in each fabric, and nodes (Fibre Channel devices)
connected to fabric elements. The right panel graphically displays directors,
switches, and ISLs for the selected fabric. Information associated with each fabric
element icon is identical to that associated with icons in the Products View. Refer
to "Products View" on page 49 for a description.
A menu bar at the top of the Fabrics View provides Product, Fabrics, View,
Configure, Logs, Maintenance, and Help options (with associated pop-up
menus) that allow users to perform HAFM application tasks.
An HAFM status bar at the bottom left corner of the View window displays
colored icons (green circle, yellow triangle, red and yellow diamond, or grey
square) that indicate the most degraded or critical status of any managed product,
fabric, or the HAFM server. Messages display, as required, to the right of the
colored icons.
