McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual

The main window provides a:
•
Menu bar - Commands at the top of the window provide drop-
down menu selections to access Actions (add a SAN, remove a
SAN, configure SAN properties), Tools (configure parameters,
generate reports, perform backup and restore operations), and
Options (set general, viewing, and zoning preferences).
•
Tool bar - The tool bar (below the menu bar) provides button
selections to refresh the display, perform mSAN configuration
tasks, and open a SAN router Element Manager application.
•
mSANs - Each managed mSAN is listed in the left panel. An
mSAN is represented by a cloud icon and identified by the IP
address of the primary mSNS (Standard Edition) or a user-
assigned name (Enterprise Edition). When an mSAN is selected,
member SAN Routers are listed in the right panel.
•
Summary panel - When an mSAN is selected at the mSANs panel,
the right panel summarizes mSAN status, time the display was
last refreshed, mSAN details, and information for each managed
SAN Router. When a SAN router (under an expanded mSAN) is
selected at the mSANs panel, the right panel summarizes router
status, time the display was last refreshed, router details, and
router contact information.
•
App Log - The App Log at the bottom of the window displays
errors, warnings, and configuration changes transmitted from the
SANvergence Manager application.
For additional information about the application, refer to the
McDATA SANvergence Manager User Manual (620-000189).
An Element Manager application is provided for each managed SAN
router. The application works in conjunction with the SANvergence
Manager application and is a router-resident, Java-based applet for
managing and monitoring the product.
To open an Element Manager application, select (highlight) the
product at the mSANs panel and click the Element Manager button on
the toolbar. When the Element manager application opens, the device
window opens
(Figure
2-9). An Eclipse 2640 SAN Router is shown.
