Using Enclosures with Fabric Manager Topology Maps

Because not all devices are capable of responding to FC-GS-3 requests, different ports of a single server
or storage subsystem may be displayed as individual end devices on the topology map. See the
"Modifying the Device Grouping" section on page 5-20
Fabric Manager.
Clicking Alias->Enclosure displays hosts and storage elements in the Information pane. This is a
shortcut to naming enclosures. To use this shortcut, highlight each row in the host or storage table that
you want grouped in an enclosure then click Alias -> Enclosure. This automatically sets the enclosure
names of each selected row with the first token of the alias.

Mapping Multiple Fabrics

To log into multiple fabrics, the same username and password must be used. The information for both
fabrics is displayed, with no need to select a seed switch. To see details of a fabric, click the tab for that
fabric at the bottom of the Fabric pane, or double-click the fabric's cloud icon.
To continuously manage a fabric using Fabric Manager, follow the instructions in the
Fabric Manager Server Fabric" section on page

Inventory Management

The Information pane in Fabric Manager shows inventory, configuration, and status information for all
switches, links, and hosts in the fabric. Inventory management includes vendor name and model, and
software or firmware versions. Select a fabric or VSAN from the Logical Domains pane, and then select
the Summary tab in the Information pane to get a count of the number of VSANS, switches, hosts, and
storage elements in the fabric. See the
information on the Fabric Manager user interface.

Using the Inventory Tab from Fabric Manager Web Server

If you have configured Fabric Manager Web Server, you can launch this application and access the
Inventory tab to see a summary of the fabrics managed by the Fabric Manager Server. The Inventory tab
shows an inventory of the selected SAN, fabric, or switch.
