SAN view management overview

You can customize the topology by creating views that include certain fabrics or devices and then
switch between the views to see specific information about those fabrics or devices.
If you discover or import a network with more than approximately 2,000 devices, the devices
display on the Product List, but not on the Topology Map. Instead, the Topology Map shows a
message stating that the topology cannot be displayed. To resolve this issue, create a new view to
filter the number of devices being discovered. Refer to
for instructions.

Creating a customized view

You may want to customize the Product List and Connectivity Map to simplify management of large
SANs by limiting the topology size or Product List columns.
For each customized view, you can specify the fabrics and hosts that display on the Connectivity
Map, as well as the columns and device groupings that display on the Product List.
Customized view settings reside on the server. Only users with the same login to the same server
can see and select the view settings. No individual user can have access to the views created by
another user.
If you select a customized view and new devices are discovered, those new devices display in the
customized view if they belong in that view category or fabric.
