Interconnecting Fabricenter cabinets - To increase the products
managed by one management server, Ethernet hubs in one or
more equipment cabinets must be connected. Plan for an Ethernet
cable length that meets the distance requirement between
cabinets. In addition, plan for an additional 1.5 meters (5 feet) of
cable outside the cabinet to provide slack for service clearance,
limited cabinet movement, or inadvertent cable pulls. Store extra
Ethernet cable in the cabinet or under the computer room raised
floor.
•
Consolidating management server operation - For control and
efficiency, all directors, fabric switches, and SAN routers in a
multiswitch fabric or routed SAN should be managed by one
management server. When products in two or more cabinets are
joined to form a fabric, the PC environment should be
consolidated to one server and one or more clients. Plan for
Ethernet cabling to interconnect cabinets and ensure all fabric
elements and PC platforms participating in the fabric have
unique IP addresses.
Customer system administrators determine whether to allow access
to directors and switches from remote workstations. If administrators
allow remote sessions, they may restrict access to selected
workstations by configuring the IP addresses of those workstations
through the SAN management application. When a remote session is
allowed, the remote user has the same rights and permissions as if the
session were on the local management server. Up to 25 sessions can
be simultaneously active.
NOTE: Remote workstation access to Eclipse-series SAN routers is not
supported.
Remote workstations must have access to the LAN segment on which
the management server is installed. Product administrative functions
are accessed through the LAN and management server. The LAN
interface can be:
