System tab for a storage switch

A storage switch is a Fibre Channel switch that is connected to a storage area network (SAN). Additional
links are available on the System Page to access detailed information when a storage switch is selected.
Included here are the areas that are unique to storage switches. HP SIM displays data supplied by the
switch's

SMI-S provider

. If the SMI-S provider does not supply data for a particular property, the property

does not appear on this page. See

“System tab”

for additional information about the tab.

The Ports and Status Summary sections show the date, time, and duration of the last data collection task. If
you want to update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data Collection task. See

“Data collection”

for additional information about data collection tasks.

If this switch is managed by HP Storage Essentials, the Ports and Status Summary sections do not appear
on this page, and an SE System Properties link appears in the Storage Essentials Pages section on
the Tools & Links tab. Click the SE System Properties link to view the Storage Essentials device page
for this storage switch.
