SAN Switch management features
SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check
port status, and debug the switch.
When running IP over FC, these management tools must be supported by both HBA and
HBA drivers. For a list of supported HBAs, see the HP StorageWorks SAN design guide:
http://www.hp.com/go/sandesignguide.

Management tool
CLI— Up to two admin sessions and
four user sessions simultaneously
Advanced Web Tools— For information,
refer to the Web Tools administrator's
guide for the Fabric OS version running
on your switch.
Standard SNMP applications— For
information, refer to the Fabric OS MIB
reference manual for the Fabric OS
version running on your switch.
Management Server— For information,
refer to the Fabric OS administrator's
guide and the Fabric OS command
reference manual for the Fabric OS
version running on your switch.
Managing SAN Switches from a single management
station
A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manage
other switches connected to the first switch via FC. To do so, set the gateway address
of the first switch to the gateway address of the subnet that the first switch resides on.
Then, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches to the FCIP address of
the first switch. (See
with three switches).
NOTE:
The disadvantage of this method is that the management station can only communicate
with the switches.
