2.8.1
SANsurfer Switch Manager
SANsurfer Switch Manager is a workstation-based Java® application that
provides a graphical user interface for fabric management. This includes
SANsurfer Performance Viewer which graphs port performance. SANsurfer
Switch Manager can run on a Windows, Solaris, or Linux workstation. A
management workstation connects to the fabric through the Ethernet port of one
or more switches and can provide in-band management for all other switches in
the fabric. Refer to the SANbox2-64 Switch Management User’s Guide for
information about the SANsurfer Switch Manager application and its use.
2.8.2
SANsurfer Switch Manager Web Applet
To make switch management less dependent on a particular workstation, each
switch contains a SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet. One instance of the web
applet can be run at a time by opening the switch IP address with an internet
browser. The switch comes from the factory with the web applet enabled, but you
can disable it using the EmbeddedGUIEnabled parameter of the Set Setup
System command.
The applet possesses the same features as the workstation-based version with
the following exceptions:
Extended Credits wizard
Zoning Wizard
SANsurfer Performance Viewer
Condensed online help
