Product Management 2 SANpilot Interface With product firmware Version 1.2 (or later) installed, administrators or operators with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and manage the director or switch through the SANpilot interface. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Element Manager application and supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation. The SANpilot interface does not replace nor offer the management capability of the SAN management and Element Manager applications (for example, the SANpilot interface does not support all product maintenance functions). In addition, the SANpilot interface manages only a single product (but has hyperlink access to other switches in a fabric). Users can perform the following: • Display the properties and operational status of the director or switch, FRUs, and Fibre Channel ports; display product operating parameters, and display fabric parameters. • Configure the director or switch, including: - Fibre Channel port parameters, port types, and data transmission speeds. - Product identification, date and time, operating domain parameters, fabric parameters, and network addresses. - Parameters for product management through SNMP, the CLI, the OSMS, or the FMS. NOTE: Sphereon 4300 and 4500 Switches do not support out-of-band management through FMS. - Zones and zone sets. - User rights (administrator and operator). • Monitor ports and port statistics and display the event log and node list. • Perform director or switch operations and maintenance tasks, including: - Enable unit beaconing, set the product online or offline, and perform a configuration reset. 2-24 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
