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) illustrates the actual physical connections between the
components of the SAN using blue lines to designate the connections between devices.
Figure 21 Physical Connection map
The map shows the following components:
• Switches:
• A heavy 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.
• A heavy blue line (or lines) from the HP StorageWorks 8/20q 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.
