Fabric Manager Overview
Fabric Manager provides a graphical interface that allows the administrator to monitor
and manage an entire fabric from a standard workstation. Fabric Manager can be used
to manage fabrics containing integrated fabrics, in addition to individual switches.
Fabric Manager provides high-level information about all switches in the fabric,
launching the Web Tools application when more detailed information is required. The
launching of Web Tools is transparent, providing a seamless user interface. In addition
to the ability to view the switches as a group, Fabric Manager provides improved
efficiencies in the management of SANs over Web Tools alone.
