Fabric Management - HP StorageWorks SN6000 Installation And Reference Manual

Fabric management

The Simple SAN Connection Manager (SSCM) application is a GUI-based management application for
HP StorageWorks H-series Fibre Channel switches that run on the management station. SSCM provides a
single pane of glass management application for managing and provisioning storage from HP MSA/EVA
storage arrays, managing HBAs and managing H-series switches. SSCM provides switch functions for day
to day management activities such as, IP network configuration, administrative password control, SNMP
setup, firmware upgrades, and implementation of HP best zoning practices (single initiator zoning). It
provides basic automated configuration and management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices. Switch
management functions include IP address configuration and limited control of zoning. SSCM version 3.0 or
later is required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch firmware and provide for the
management of individual switches in a single fabric.
The Enterprise Fabric Management Suite application is an optional, workstation-based fabric management
application that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. For more
information about Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, see
Suite" (page 18).
It is recommended that SSCM be used to setup and manage the entire SAN. Users that want more detailed
switch level control can launch QuickTools or the optional Enterprise Fabric Management Suite for
advanced switch management features and functions.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins, which are reserved as follows:
• 4 logins or sessions for internal applications, such as management server and SNMP
• 9 high priority Telnet sessions
• 6 logins or sessions for Simple SAN Connection Manager inband and out-of-band logins, QuickTools
logins, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.
