•
Automatic notification of significant system events (to support
personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the
call-home feature.
NOTE: SAN routers do not support the e-mail message feature. The
Sphereon 4300 Switch and SAN routers do not support the call-home
feature. In addition, the call-home feature may not be available if the EFC
Management applications (EFCM Lite) are installed on a customer-
supplied platform.
•
Directors and fabric switches provide an internal modem for use
by support personnel to dial in to the management server for
event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.
NOTE: SAN routers do not provide modem support.
•
An RS-232 maintenance port on the director, fabric switch, or
SAN router (port access is password protected) that enables
installation or service personnel to change the product's IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address; or to run diagnostics
and isolate system problems through a local or remote terminal.
•
Redundant FRUs that are removed or replaced without
disrupting product or link operation, and a modular design that
enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without the use
of special tools or equipment.
•
Concurrent port maintenance. FPM, UPM, and XPM cards and
SFP optical transceivers are removed, added, or replaced without
interrupting other ports or product operation. In addition, fiber-
optic cables are attached to ports without interrupting other ports
or product operation.
•
Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or
product in a SAN environment. When port beaconing is enabled,
the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When FRU
beaconing is enabled, the amber (service required) LED on the
FRU flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, the system error
LED on the product flashes. Beaconing does not affect port, FRU,
or product operation.
