Switch Manager
21HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide
Installing Switch Manager on Linux systems
1. Close all programs currently running, and then insert the Small Business SAN Software
CD into the server or management workstation CD-ROM drive.
The CD auto-mounts, and executes an installation script.
If the CD does not auto-mount, mount the CD and execute the HP Small Business Linux
Wizard script from the /linux directory. (install_smb.sh)
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
Starting Switch Manager
For Windows systems, do one of the following:
■ Double-click the Switch Manager shortcut icon
■ Select Start > Switch Manager
■ Enter the following at the command line:
<install_directory>Switch_Manager.exe
For Linux systems, because the installation script creates a symbolic link between
/opt/HP/HP_StorageWorks_Switch_Manager/Switch_Manager and
/usr/sbin/Switch_Manager, enter the following at the command line:
# Switch_Manager
The application opens with the Initial Start Dialog—Switch Manager dialog box (Figure 1). If
you prefer not to see this dialog box, check the Don’t show this dialog again option. This has
the same effect as disabling the Display Initial Startup Dialog preference. See “Setting Switch
Manager preferences” on page 24 for more information.
