Fabric Management - HP StorageWorks 8/20q Installation And Reference Manual

Fabric management

The Simple SAN Connection Manager application is a GUI-based management application for HP
StorageWorks that runs on the management station. It provides basic automated configuration and
management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices. Switch management functions include IP address
configuration and limited control of zoning.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch firmware and provide for the
management of individual switches in a single fabric.
The Enterprise Fabric Management Suite application is an optional, workstation-based fabric management
application that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. For more
information about Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, see the
(page 14).
Consider how many fabrics and switches will be managed, how many workstations are needed, and
whether the fabrics will be managed with Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, Enterprise
Fabric Management Suite, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins, which are reserved as follows:
• 4 logins or sessions for internal applications, such as management server and SNMP
• 9 high priority Telnet sessions
• 6 logins or sessions for Simple SAN Connection Manager inband and out-of-band logins, QuickTools
logins, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.
