QuickTools provides the following management features: • Faceplate device management • Switch and port statistics • Configuration wizard • Zoning administration • Fabric tree for fabric management • User account configuration • Switch and fabric events • Operational and environmental statistics • Global device nicknames • Inband management of other switches in the fabric • Online help Simple SAN Connection Manager HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for HP StorageWorks that runs on a workstation known as the management station. It provides basic automated configuration and management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices. Command line interface The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide. Enterprise Fabric Management Suite Enterprise Fabric Management Suite is a separately licensed, workstation-based fabric management GUI that includes the capabilities of the QuickTools web applet plus: • Fabric tracker for monitoring firmware versions • Port threshold alarm configuration • Performance view for port performance monitoring • Extended credits wizard • mPort technology for moveable port licenses • Media diagnostics • Fibre Channel tracing and connection verification Enterprise Fabric Management Suite can be downloaded with a 30-day trial license from the HP website: www.hp.com/go/EFMS. For information about configuring the switch using Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Enterprise Fabric Management Suite User Guide. Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2. SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices through a combination of authentication and encryption. You can enable SNMP, configure SNMP traps, and configure SNMP version 3 security using the command line interface, QuickTools, or Enterprise Fabric Management Suite. 14
