QuickTools web applet

QuickTools is a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides switch management
capabilities beyond those of Simple SAN Connection Manager. You run QuickTools by opening the switch
IP address with an internet browser on your workstation. See the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel
Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide. QuickTools provides the following management
features:
• Faceplate device management
• Switch and port statistics
• Configuration wizard
• Zoning administration
• Fabric tree for fabric management
• User account configuration
• Switch and fabric events
• Operational and environmental statistics
• Global device nicknames
• Inband management of other switches in the fabric
• Online help

Simple SAN Connection Manager

HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for HP
StorageWorks that runs on a workstation known as the management station. It provides basic automated
configuration and management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices.

Command line interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the
administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is available over an Ethernet connection or
a serial connection. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
Command Line Interface Guide.

Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch firmware supports SNMP versions
1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element
Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.
SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices through a combination of authentication and
encryption. You can enable SNMP, configure SNMP traps, and configure SNMP version 3 security using
the command line interface or QuickTools.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the SMI-S. For
more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch CIM Agent Reference Guide.

File transfer protocols

FTP and TFTP provide the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch and the
workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files. For more information
about FTP and TFTP, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface
Guide.
