Controller Management

3.1 Managing the Controller

The controller provides a set of tools that enable administrators to centrally manage the network storage
and resources that handle business-critical data. These include Configuration Management, Performance
Management, Remote Login Management, Security Administration, and Firmware Update
Management. Bundled together, this is called the controller’s Administrator Utility.

3.1.1

Management Interface

SAN management information for the controller can be accessed locally through a serial interface, or
remotely through Telnet.

NOTE : A controller may have only one active login (serial or Telnet) at any given time.

Locally - Serial Interface

Any RS-232 terminal or terminal emulator (such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal) can be used to
configure and monitor the controller.

1.

Connect your terminal to the CLI port at the back of the controller using a standard DB-9 female-
to-male null modem cable (Figure 3–1).
