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 ( 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 or Cisco fabric that may contain
multiple switches) connected by means of an active TR_Port.
• An orange line (or lines) from the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch or 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,” page 45.
