Element Manager
An Element Manager application is provided for each managed
Application
product (Intrepid 6064 Director, Intrepid 6140 Director, Intrepid 10000
Director, Sphereon 3232 Switch, and Sphereon 4500 Switch).
NOTE: An Element Manager application is not supported for the
Sphereon 4300 Switch.
The Element Manager application works in conjunction with the
SAN management application and is a Java-based GUI for managing
and monitoring a director or switch. The application operates locally
on the management server or through a network connection from a
remote PC or workstation.
To open an Element Manager application, right-click the product icon
(Figure
2-6) at the SAN management application's physical map, then
select the Element Manager option from the pop-up menu. The
product icon for a Sphereon 4500 Switch is shown.

When the Element Manager application opens, the last view (tab)
accessed by a user opens by default. As an example, the Hardware
View
(Figure
2-7) for the Sphereon 4500 Switch is shown. An Intrepid
6064, Intrepid 6140, Intrepid 10000, Sphereon 3232, or Sphereon
4500 Status table appears at the top of the window, and a graphical
representation of the hardware (front and rear) appears in the center
of the window.
The graphical representation of the product emulates the hardware
configuration and operational status of the corresponding real
product. For example, if a director or switch is fully redundant and
fully populated, this configuration is reflected in the Hardware View.
Colored symbols appear on the graphical field-replaceable units
(FRUs) to represent failed or degraded status. The light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) also highlight to emulate real LED operation.
