metro Storage Name Server (mSNS)
Choose Storage Name Server (mSNS) from the Statistics/Info menu to
display the Storage Name Server (mSNS) Report dialog box (
Figure 6-24
on page 6-32), which contains the complete contents of the mSNS. All
devices known in the mSAN are displayed.
This report is created by querying the mSNS in the SAN Router.
Contents are based on whether the SAN Router is configured as an
mSNS client, or primary server.
The SAN Router is the primary server for the mSAN, and the report
contains information for all devices in the FC fabric. If the SAN
Router is a client or secondary server, the report contains information
known to the local SAN Router only. The name server table contains
an entry for each storage device port and SAN Router port known by
the local name server.
Click the title of a column to sort the report by that column. Click the
title again to reverse the sort order. You can also click and drag
columns to reorder them in the table.
Click Refresh to update the report contents. Click Options to configure
automatic refresh every few seconds.
