System tab for a storage switch
A storage switch is a Fibre Channel switch connected to a SAN. Additional links are available on
the System Page to access detailed information when a storage switch is selected. Included are
areas unique to storage switches. HP SIM displays data supplied by the switch's SMI-S provider.
If the SMI-S provider does not supply data for a property, the property does not appear on this
page.
The Ports and Status Summary sections show the date, time, and duration of the last data collection
task. To update the data, click the Last Update link and schedule or run a Data Collection task.
The Quick Launch hyperlink links to a short list of frequently used tools. Place your cursor over the
link to expand the menu and view the tools available for selected systems. Selecting a tool from
this list bypasses the target verification page of the Task Wizard. You cannot schedule tools
launched from this menu. Customize this menu by clicking the Customize link in the Quick Launch
menu.
