Configuration Planning Tasks 6 • Remote user workstations - If remote access to the management server is required, plan to install user workstations with the SAN management and Element Manager applications configured. Administrators can use these remote workstations to configure and monitor directors and fabric switches. Up to 25 sessions can be simultaneously active. Sessions from remote user workstations are disabled if the management server is powered off. NOTE: Remote management server access to SAN routers is not supported. • Inband management support - If inband console management of a director or fabric switch is required, plan for a Fibre Channel port connection that communicates with the attached server. If director or fabric switch management through an OSI server is planned, ensure the OSMS feature key is ordered with the Element Manager application. This feature enables host control of the product from an OSI server attached to a Fibre Channel port. Ensure the server meets minimum specifications and a productcompatible HBA and appropriate operating system or SAN management application is available. If director or switch management through an IBM host is planned, ensure the FMS feature key is ordered with the Element Manager application. This feature key enables host control of the product from an IBM System/390 Parallel Enterprise Server or eServer zSeries processor attached to a Fibre Channel port. • SANpilot interface - If a web browser-capable PC and Internet access to a director or switch SANpilot interface are required, plan accordingly and ensure access to an analog phone line. Access to the SANpilot interface is not provided by the management server. NOTE: SANpilot interface access to SAN routers is not supported. Task 5: Plan Ethernet Access The management server and one or more products are configured on a dedicated Ethernet LAN segment and delivered in the Fabricenter equipment cabinet. No Ethernet access planning is required for a stand-alone cabinet. This task is required to: 6-6 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
