Viewing a Physical Connection map

Simple SAN Connection Manager provides a graphical representation of physical connections among the

storage subsystems, switches, and HBAs within the SAN. This graphical representation is the Physical

Connection map shown in the content pane (see

Figure 21

).

Description of a Physical Connection map

The Physical Connection map (

Figure 21

) uses blue lines to designate the physical connections between

devices in the SAN.

Figure 21

Physical Connection map

The map shows the following components:

Switches:
• A black line between switches indicates an inter-switch link (ISL).
• A grayed-out switch on the map indicates a remote fabric (Brocade fabric that may contain multiple

switches) connected by means of an active TR_Port.

• An orange line (or lines) from the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch to a grayed-out

switch indicates a connection between an active TR_Port and the remote fabric, but appears only if

the switch has been configured with Inter-Fabric Zones (IFZs). For more information, see

“About

transparent routing”

on page 49.
