Displaying Graphs
To display graphs, do the following:
1. Open the Fabric menu and select Add Fabric or click the Add button. Enter
a fabric name and an IP address in the Add a New Fabric window. Include a
login name and a password if required.
2. Set the graphing options and polling frequency. By default, SANsurfer Fabric
View plots total bytes transmitted and received at a polling frequency of once
per second. Refer to ”Customizing Graphs” on page B-3 for information
about changing what is plotted and how it is plotted.
3. Select a switch icon in the Fabric Tree to display a graph for each logged-in
port on that switch; or display a graph for a single port by clicking on the
switch entry handle and selecting one or more ports.
4. You can move graphs around individually by clicking and dragging, or you
can arrange them as a group. Refer to ”Arranging Graphs in the Display” on
page B-2 for more information. To remove a graph, click the graph Close
button. To remove all graphs, open the View menu and select Close All
Graphs.
SANsurfer Fabric View can access only one fabric at a time. To access another
fabric, you must first remove the current fabric. To remove a fabric, open the
Fabric menu and select Remove Fabric or click the Remove button.
