Introducing the PowerVault Switch Manager Use the PowerVault Fibre Channel Switch Manager (Web interface) to log onto a switch from a host with a Java-enabled Web browser via the Internet or Intranet 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 data saturation). Additionally, you can change a switch's configuration or download firmware. The Administrative Interface and Telnet provide the means to make administrative changes, and security is enforced by username and encrypted password. The PowerVault Switch Manager also provides access to all zoning functions.

remotely manage a storage area network (SAN) composed of switches and other
SAN devices. The PowerVault Fibre Channel Switch Manager allows you to dynami-
cally 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 data saturation). Additionally, you can change a switch’s con-
figuration or download firmware. The Administrative Interface and Telnet provide the
means to make administrative changes, and security is enforced by username and
encrypted password.
