a. Connectrix Manager displays the WWNs of all connected N_Ports and allows the
user to drag and drop the WWNs into the zones. Connectrix Manager allows the
user to configure nicknames for the WWNs. The Embedded Web Server does not
have nicknames or drag and drop zoning; however, it does have a pull-down box
that allows you to select the WWN for any attached node.
If a DS-xxM is managed by a Connectrix service processor and zoning changes are
made directly to the DS-xxM using the EWS, those changes will not be reflected in
the Zoning Library on the Connectrix service processor.
b. Connectrix Manager has the capability to call home to the Support Center 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. The Embedded Web Server does not have this feature built in.
Call-home support for standalone DS-xxM switches is done using the new MIB in
microcode 1.2/1.4/2.0/4.0. EMC ControlCenter WebEdition 4.3 and OnAlert
interface with this MIB to provide call-home support. (For more information, refer
to the latest OnAlert Release Notes.)
c. Connectrix Manager can back up all zoning, operating parameters, identification,
nicknames, user rights, and logs. Connectrix Manager also has an utility that will
perform automatic backups. The Embedded Web Server does not have backup
capabilities; however it does have the ability to manually download switch
configuration data via the File Transfer tab.
d. Multiswitch management via the Embedded Web Server can be performed by
manually opening additional Web brower sessions to the other switches. In
firmware release 4.00, you can also manage switches that have ISLs to the switch
you are currently managing.
e. Both Connectrix Manager and the Embedded Web Server can perform firmware
upgrades on line; however, only Connectrix Manager has a firmware library.
