Concepts
Logical Groups
A "logical" group can be created to monitor the status of their component switches and propagate
actions over the chosen group of switches. A SAN administrator can also use this feature to quickly
determine the status of a large number of switches without looking through each one. A logical
group differs from a physical group in that they do not necessarily represent a physically grouped
set of switches.
For information on creating a logical group, see
Local Files
Fabric Manager persists groups and other information to "local" files. Fabric Manager stores these
files in the user's home directory. Log files are under user home/Fabric Manager/log.
