McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
2-8
The server is dedicated to operation of the SAN management and
associated Element Manager applications. These applications
provide a GUI and implement web and other server functions. Refer
to
SAN Management Applications
NOTE: The server and SAN management application provide a GUI to
monitor and manage products and are a dedicated hardware and software
solution that should not be used for other tasks. McDATA tests the SAN
management application installed on the server but does not compatibility
test third-party software. Modifications to server hardware or installation of
additional software (including patches or service packs) may interfere with
normal operation.
United States English is the only language supported by the SAN
management and Element Manager applications.
The server provides two auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN
connectors (RJ-45 adapters). The first adapter (LAN 1) attaches
(optionally) to a public customer intranet to allow access from remote
user workstations. The second adapter (LAN 2) attaches to a private
LAN segment containing switches or managed McDATA products.
