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.
