About 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).
The Management application, in conjunction with HCM, provides end-to-end management
capability. For information about configuring, monitoring, and managing individual adapters using
the HCM GUI or the Brocade Command Utility (BCU), refer to the Brocade Adapters Administrator's
Guide.

The Management application focuses on operations such as fault management, performance
management, and configuration management for multiple adapters and adapter ports and
security configuration using Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) that is set up on the
adapter port and the switch.
HCM supports management for individual adapters (1/4/8 Gbps HBAs) and 10 Gbps CNAs
and other devices, such as the host, CEE ports, FCoE ports, and Ethernet ports.
