1 Introducing Advanced Web Tools
HP StorageWorks Advanced Web Tools is a GUI that enables administrators to monitor and manage
single or small fabrics, switches, and ports from a standard workstation. It is included with every HP
StorageWorks B-Series switch.
Web Tools provides the administrative control point for HP Advanced Fabric Services, including Advanced
Zoning, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, and Fabric Watch. Advanced Web Tools also
provides an interface to telnet commands to perform special switch functions and diagnostics that are
available only through the telnet interface.
