Management server and client

Management server and client

The Management application has two parts: the Server and the Client. The Server is installed on
one machine and stores SAN-related information; it does not have a user interface. To view SAN
information through a user interface, you must log in to the Server through a Client. The Server and
Clients may reside on the same machine, or on separate machines.
In some cases, a network may utilize virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can
prohibit communication between Servers and Clients. In other words, a Client can find a Server,
appear to log in, but is immediately logged out because the Server cannot reach the Client. To
resolve this issue, check to determine if the ports in the table below need to be opened up in the
firewall.
