Starting SANsurfer Performance View
To start SANsurfer Performance View from within SANsurfer Switch Manager,
open the topology display and select Start Performance View from the Fabric
menu. When starting the SANsurfer Performance View application from the
SANsurfer Switch Manager application on Linux and Solaris platforms, the fabric
currently displayed in the SANsurfer Switch Manager topology display opens
automatically in the SANsurfer Performance View topology display. On Windows
platforms, you will need to manually open the fabric in the SANsurfer Performance
View topology display.
NOTE: On the Solaris platforms, if you launch the SANsurfer Performance
View application from the SANsurfer Switch Manager application and
SANsurfer Performance View can not connect to the fabric, (for
example, if you have reached the maximum number of SANsurfer
Switch Manager sessions on the entry switch), then SANsurfer
Performance View opens with a blue fabric icon displayed in the fabric
tree. The reason for status displayed after the fabric name in the fabric
tree will indicate the reason for failure to connect.
