Status Bar (left side)—Shows short-term transient messages, such as the number of rows
displayed in a table.
Physical Attributes pane—Displays a tree of available configuration tasks depending on the
fabric, VSAN, or zone selected previously. Lists the switches and end devices in the logical
selection.
Logical Domains pane—Displays a tree of configured SAN, fabrics, VSANs, and zones, and
provides access to user-defined groups. The label next to the segmented VSAN indicates the
number of segments.
File—Opens a new fabric, rediscovers the current fabric, locates switches, sets preferences, prints
the map, and exports the Fabric pane log.
View—Changes the appearance of the map (these options are duplicated on the Fabric pane toolbar).
Zone—Manages zones, zone sets, and inter-VSAN routing (IVR).
Tools—Verifies and troubleshoots connectivity and configuration, as described in the
Manager Troubleshooting Tools" section on page
Performance—Runs and configures Performance Manager and Cisco Traffic Analyzer, and
generates reports.
Server—Runs administrative tasks on clients and fabrics. Provides Fabric Manager Server
management and a purge command. Lists fabrics being managed.
Help—Displays online help topics for specific dialog boxes in the Information pane.
Open Fabric—Opens a new switch fabric.
Locate Switches and Devices— Uses the SNMPv2 protocol to discover devices responding to
SNMP requests with the read-only community string public. You may use this feature if you want
to locate other Cisco MDS 9000 switches in the subnet, but are not physically connected to the
fabric.
Rediscover—Initiates an on-demand discovery to learn recent changes from the switches and update
the Fabric Manager Client. You may use this option when Fabric Manager Server is not in sync with
switches in the fabric and you do not want to wait until the next polling cycle. The rediscover option
does not delete the fabric and add it again. You may delete and add the fabric only if the rediscover
option fails to update Fabric Manager Server.
