Deleting Switches and Links
The SANbox Manager application does not automatically delete switches or links
that have failed or have been physically removed from the Fibre Channel network.
In these cases, you can delete switches and links to bring the display up to date. If
you delete a switch or a link that is still active, the SANbox Manager application
will restore it automatically. You can also refresh the display. To delete a switch
from the topology display, do the following:
1. Select one or more switches in the topology display.
2. Open the Switch menu and select Delete.
To delete a link, do the following:
1. Select one or more links in the topology display.

Displaying Fabric Information
The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic
window of the topology display provides status information for switches,
inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.
The data window tabs show name server, switch, and active zone set information.
The Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. Refer
to ”Name Server Data Window” on page 4-8 and ”Switch Data Window” on
page 4-10 for information about the Name Server and Switch data windows.

update the display status, or you can refresh the display at any time. To refresh
the topology display, do one of the following:
Click the Refresh button.
Open the View menu and select Refresh.
