•
Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate data paths to
ensure continued product availability in case of failover. The SAN
management application queries the status of each backup FRU
daily. A backup FRU failure is indicated by an illuminated amber
LED.
•
Data collection through the product's Element Manager
application, SANpilot interface, or SANvergence Manager
application (for SAN routers) to help isolate system problems.
The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and
engineering logs.
•
SNMP management for directors and fabric switches using the
following MIBs as defined by Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) working documents, request for comment (RFC)
memorandums, and McDATA:
— Fibre Channel Management Framework Integration MIB
(FC-MGMT-MIB) - This MIB (also called the Fibre Alliance
MIB) defines an integrated management environment for
Fibre Channel-attached devices. The MIB runs on the
management server. Up to 12 authorized management
workstations can be configured through the SAN
management application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap
messages that indicate product operational state changes and
failure conditions.
— RFC 1213 - Management Information Base (MIB-II) for
Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets - This MIB
defines managed objects for the Internet community and runs
on each director or switch. Up to six authorized management
workstations can be configured through the Element Manager
application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages.
— Product-specific private enterprise MIB - Product-specific
proprietary MIBs run on each director or switch. Up to six
authorized management workstations can be configured
through the Element Manager application to receive
unsolicited SNMP trap messages.
