Fabric Management
The SANbox Manager application and CLI execute on a management workstation
that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of the fabric.
Supported platforms include Windows, Windows NT, Solaris, and Linux. The
SANbox Manager application can manage multiple fabrics. Consider how many
fabrics will be managed, how many management workstations are needed, and
whether the fabrics will be managed with the CLI or SANbox Manager.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins reserved as follows:
4 sessions for internal applications such as management server and SNMP
15 sessions for SANbox Manager inband and out-of-band logins,
Application Programming Interface (API) inband and out-of-band logins and
Telnet logins. Of these 15, there can be a combined maximum of 10 SANbox
Manager and API logins. Additional logins will be refused.
