Use the PowerVault Fibre Channel Switch Manager (web interface) to log onto a
switch from a host with a Java-enabled web browser by way of the Internet or Intra-
net to remotely manage a storage area network (SAN) composed of switches and
other SAN devices. The PowerVault Fibre Channel Switch Manager allows you to
dynamically interact with any switch in the SAN to monitor status and performance.
Use the available information to make overall topology decisions (for example,
increasing a path’s bandwidth due to date saturation.) Additionally, you can change a
switch’s configuration to download firmware. The Administrative Interface and Telnet
provide the means to make administrative changes, and security is enforced by user-
name and encrypted passwords.
The PowerVault Fibre Channel Switch Manager also provides access to all zoning
functions.
For more information about zoning and the PowerVault Fibre Channel Switch Manager
see the Dell PowerVault 5xF Switches Zoning Guide and the Dell PowerVault Switch
Manager User’s Guide.
