Product Management 2 Product Management Out-of-band (non-Fibre Channel) management server access to all McDATA products is provided through an Ethernet local area network (LAN) connection on a director control processor (CTP) card, fabric switch front panel, or SAN router front panel. As an optional feature, inband (Fibre Channel or FICON) management access to selected McDATA products is provided through a Fibre Channel port connection. Out-of-Band Management The following out-of-band management access methods are provided through the management server: • Management of directors and fabric switches through a SAN management application (SANavigator 4.2 or Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFCM) 8.6) and associated Element Manager application. These applications are Java-based GUIs that reside on the management server under control of a Microsoft® Windows® operating system and can also be installed on remote user workstations. Refer to SAN Management Applications for additional information. Operators at remote workstations can connect to the management server through the SAN management and Element Manager applications to manage and monitor products. A maximum of 25 concurrent users can log in to the SAN management application. Refer to Remote User Workstations for information. NOTE: Product management through a SAN management and Element Manager application is not supported for the Sphereon 4300 Switch. • Management of SAN routers through a SAN management application (SANvergence Manager 4.6) and associated Element Manager application. The SANvergence Manager application is a Java-based GUI that resides on the management server under control of a Microsoft Windows operating system. Element Manager applications installed on each router are launched from the SANvergence Manager application. Refer to SAN Management Applications for additional information. 2-2 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
