Exiting the SAN Utility
When you exit the SAN Utility, the current fabric view is encrypted and saved to the default fabric view file
(fc_view.dft). A password is required to encrypt and save the default fabric view file the first time you exit the
SAN Utility. When you exit subsequent sessions, the SAN Utility closes and saves the default fabric view file
automatically without requiring a password.
In your next session, the SAN Utility opens the default fabric view file automatically after you type the
password. To prevent the SAN Utility from automatically saving the default fabric view file each time you exit
a session, select Disabled in the View file auto save and load field (it is set to Enabled by default). See
“Setting user preferences” on page 37 for more information.
Complete the following steps to exit a SAN Utility session:
1.
From the Faceplate window, click File
Exit.
The Enter Default File Password for Loading File window opens, as shown in Figure 18 on page 32.
2.
When you are prompted to type a password with which to protect the default fabric view file, complete
one of the following tasks:
•
To save the current set of fabrics in the default fabric view file (fc_view.dft) in the working directory,
type a password and click Save View File.
✏
NOTE
If the default fabric view file was saved with a password, the next time you open the SAN
Utility, you will be prompted for the password in the Load Default Fabric View File window.
The fabric window opens after you type the password.
•
Click Exit Without Saving to exit the program without saving the current fabrics to the default fabric
view file.
•
Click Cancel Exit to cancel the exit operation.
SAN Utility Topology and Faceplate windows
The SAN Utility provides two basic windows for you to manage the fabric and switch modules. The windows
are called Topology and Faceplate. Both windows share the following common elements:
Menu bar: The menus and the items offered in them vary depending on which window is open. For example,
the port menu and many of the switch menu selections are displayed only in the Faceplate window. Menu
items have a gray background.
In addition to the menu bar, each window has context-sensitive menus that open when you right-click in the
graphic window. See the information about opening the Faceplate window and pop-up window in the Intel
®
Blade Server Switch Module SBCEFCSW: Management and User’s Guide.
Toolbar: The toolbar consists of a row of graphical buttons that you can use to access SAN Utility functions.
The toolbar buttons are an alternative method to using the menu bar.
Fabric tree: The fabric tree, shown in the FC Fabrics pane, lists the managed fabrics and their associated
switches. The pane width can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the moveable border. An entry handle to
the left of an entry in the tree indicates that the entry can be expanded. Click this handle or double-click the
entry to expand or contract a fabric tree entry. A fabric entry expands to show its member switches.
