be monitored at the same time is 32. The same upper limit applies if switch ports and HBA ports are
combined. You can select switch ports and adapter ports from a maximum of ten devices.
Fabric monitoring enables discovery of and data collection for the specified fabric and all
associated devices. The Management application enables you to view fabric monitoring status
through the Discover Fabrics dialog box. The following table illustrates and describes the icons that
indicate the current status of the discovered switches.
For Professional and Professional Plus, the default monitoring interval is 120 seconds (minimum
