· Deployment and Management Features
- Universal Boot capability allows the appropriate
boot environment to be automatically selected
for any given hardware.
- Boot from SAN capability reduces system
management costs and increases uptime.
- Detailed real-time event logging and tracing
enables quick diagnosis of SAN problems.
- Beaconing feature flashes the HBA LEDs,
simplifying their identification within server
racks.
- Environmental monitoring feature helps to
optimize SAN availability.

· Emulex’s automated installation facilities and
extensive management capabilities speed HBA
deployment and device management, while
reducing administration costs and protecting IT
investment.
· Emulex LightPulse HBA management capabilities
enable secure, centralized discovery, monitoring,
reporting, and administration of Emulex HBAs
on local and remote hosts. Powerful automation
capabilities facilitate remote driver parameter,
firmware and boot code upgrades. Advanced
diagnostic features such as HBA beaconing and
HBA statistics help to optimize management and
network performance while the environmental
monitoring feature helps to maintain optimum
host to fabric connections. In addition to the
GUI interface, management functions can also
be performed via a scriptable Command Line
Interface
(CLI) as well as a web browser. With in-band and
out-of-band management capabilities, Emulex
provides data center administrators with the
greatest level of management flexibility.
· Automated installation and configuration of driver
and management tools simplifies deployment of
multiple HBAs for Windows environments. A single
installation of drivers and management utilities
eliminates multiple reboots and ensures that each
component is installed correctly and the HBA is
ready to use.
· Emulex’s management instrumentation complies
to Open Management Standards, such as SMI-S
and common HBA API support, which enables
seamless upward integration into enterprise
storage and server management solutions.
