42 Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide • September 2008
Note – Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 may not support all firmware versions. If the
version of Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 was not intended to support the firmware
version on the switch, a warning status of “FW/GUI mismatch” is displayed for the
switch. A switch with this status will still be manageable, but may preclude some
operations from being performed.
Displaying the Event Browser
The Event Browser (FIGURE 2-5) displays a list of events generated by the switches in
the fabric and the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application. Events that are generated
by the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application are not saved on the switch, but can
be saved to a file during the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 session.
Entries in the Event Browser are formatted by severity, time stamp, source, type, and
description. The maximum number of entries allowed in the Event Browser is 10,000.
The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch is 1200. Once the maximum is
reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events are discarded and replaced with
the new events. Event entries from the switch, use the switch time stamp, while
event entries generated by the application have a workstation time stamp. You can
filter, sort, and export the contents of the Event Browser to a file. The Event Browser
begins recording when enabled and Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is running.
