RFM Screen Layout and User Interaction
The RFM essentially provides a portal into the fabric environment, in order to
enable the administrator to focus on specific facets of the fabric that are of
interest. This is accomplished by a view in the RFM, which defines a specific
category of information pertaining to the fabric environment. Figure 4-19 is the
main menu of the RFM.
