A storage switch is a Fibre Channel switch that is connected to a storage area network (SAN). Additional links are available on the System Page to access detailed information when a storage switch is selected. Included here are the areas that are unique to storage switches. HP SIM displays data supplied by the switch's SMI-S provider. If the SMI-S provider does not supply data for a particular property, the property does not appear on this page. Refer to System Page - Identity Tab for Servers for additional information about the tab.

The Ports and Status Summary sections show the date, time, and duration of the last data collection task. If you want to update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule or run a Data Collection task. Refer to Administering Systems and Events - Data Collection for additional information about data collection tasks.

If this switch is managed by HP Storage Essentials, the Ports and Status Summary sections do not appear on this page, and an SE System Properties link appears in the Storage Essentials Pages section on the Tools & Links tab. Click the SE System Properties link to view the Storage Essentials device page for this storage switch.
