Introduction 1 Overview The Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), based on HTML, that enables the user to administer products, monitor products and ports, and perform tasks to manage a simple Storage Area Network (SAN). You can also use EWS to perform troubleshooting tasks and upgrade product firmware. With product firmware 04.00.00 (or later) installed, administrators or operators with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and manage the product through the EWS interface. The EWS interface supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation. The EWS interface neither replaces nor offers all of the management capability of the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) and its Product Manager applications (for example, the EWS interface does not support all product maintenance functions). In addition, EWS provides hyperlink access to other products in a fabric, which means those products can also be managed. Using EWS to Perform Tasks Users can perform the following tasks using EWS: ■ Display the properties and operational status of the product, FRUs, and Fibre Channel ports; display product operating parameters; and display fabric parameters. ■ Configure the director or edge 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.
