Introduction

Overview

The Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI),
based on HTML, that enables the user to administer products, monitor products
and ports, and perform tasks to manage a simple Storage Area Network (SAN).
You can also use EWS to perform troubleshooting tasks and upgrade product
firmware.
With product firmware 04.00.00 (or later) installed, administrators or operators
with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and manage
the product through the EWS interface.
The EWS interface supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and
basic operation. The EWS interface neither replaces nor offers all of the
management capability of the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) and its
Product Manager applications (for example, the EWS interface does not support
all product maintenance functions).
In addition, EWS provides hyperlink access to other products in a fabric, which
means those products can also be managed.
