SANpilot Interface
McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
2-24
With product firmware Version 1.2 (or later) installed, administrators
or operators with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection
can monitor and manage the director or switch through the SANpilot
interface. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Element
Manager application and supports product configuration, statistics
monitoring, and basic operation. The SANpilot interface does not
replace nor offer the management capability of the SAN management
and Element Manager applications (for example, the SANpilot
interface does not support all product maintenance functions). In
addition, the SANpilot interface manages only a single product (but
has hyperlink access to other switches in a fabric). Users can perform
the following:
•
Display the properties and operational status of the director or
switch, FRUs, and Fibre Channel ports; display product operating
parameters, and display fabric parameters.
•
Configure the director or switch, including:
— Fibre Channel port parameters, port types, and data
transmission speeds.
— Product identification, date and time, operating domain
parameters, fabric parameters, and network addresses.
— Parameters for product management through SNMP, the CLI,
the OSMS, or the FMS.
NOTE: Sphereon 4300 and 4500 Switches do not support out-of-band
management through FMS.
— Zones and zone sets.
— User rights (administrator and operator).
•
Monitor ports and port statistics and display the event log and
node list.
•
Perform director or switch operations and maintenance tasks,
including:
— Enable unit beaconing, set the product online or offline, and
perform a configuration reset.
