Figure 2-8
Some of these functions require a license key to activate. The Switch View button menu also includes
buttons that display the status of the switch fans, temperature monitors, switch information, power
supply, and beacon. The Switch View button menu also includes a Logout button.
It is important to note that certain Fabric OS features are available only on particular switch types;
therefore, the icons for those features are displayed only for those switch types. For example, the High
Availability feature is available only on the SilkWorm 24000 and 48000 directors; therefore, the HA
Admin button displays in the Switch View button menu only for those directors. The iSCSI button
displays only for the SilkWorm 48000 with an FC4-16IP port blade.
Some buttons are grayed out if the user account with which you logged in to the switch does not have
the proper privileges to access that module. Buttons might also be grayed out in certain Admin Domains
based on switch membership or other Admin Domain-related requirements. For example, the Beacon
button is enabled only when the switch is owned in the current Admin Domain, and the iSCSI button is
enabled only in AD0 and AD255.
The following buttons have a color-coded background, which indicates status for that area:
•
Status
•
Fan
•
Temp
•
Power
•
Hi Availability (HA)
The colors follow the status legend (see
