Graphing port performance
The HP StorageWorks Fabric View application displays port performance using graphs. HP
StorageWorks Fabric View plots data communication rates and total errors for selected ports
as shown in
Figure 34 . When graphing data communication rates, you can choose either
frames/second or KB/second.
Fabric status is displayed in text format after the fabric name in the fabric tree. The color of the
icon indicates the current connection status as normal (green), warning (yellow), critical (red),
or unmanageable (blue).
