— Ethernet link status.
— Fibre Channel link status.
In addition, threshold alerts and a threshold alert log notify users
when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches a
specified value for configured ports.
• System alerts, system logs, message logs, SAN reports, and
product reports display the following SAN router information at
the management server or remote workstations:
— SAN router status.
— Port connectivity status.
In addition, port statistics, traffic, and compression dialog boxes
provide Tx or Rx status for configured ports.
• Product diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests
(POSTs), and director and fabric switch software that performs
port diagnostics (internal and external loopback tests).
NOTE: SAN routers do not support loopback testing.
• Directors and fabric switches (except the Sphereon 4300, 4400,
and Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switches), can perform a diagnostic
Fibre Channel (FC) wrap test. The FC wrap test applies only
when a product is operated using FICON management style.
NOTE: Sphereon 4300, 4400 and 4500 Fabric Switches do not support
operation using the FICON management style.
— 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 Fabric 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.
