Host management
Extensive management operations are supported on the switches and fabrics of the SAN using the
Management application. Adapters and hosts are visible as part of the fabrics managed by the
Management application. The management operations that are currently available using the
Management application are discussed in this chapter.
The Management application integrates with another manageability application called the Host
Connectivity Manager (HCM) to provide complete management of the host bus adapters (HBAs)
and converged network adapters (CNAs).
