Dell PowerVault 50F Dell PowerVault Switch Manager User's Guide - Page 11

This chapter describes the requirements for the Dell PowerVault Switch Manager and how to launch and use the Switch Manager. To use the Switch Manager, your system must meet the following requirements: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape 4.0 or later with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 operating systems Netscape 4.0 or later with Sun Solaris 2.5 or later systems 16-bit or higher color Java 1.2.2 plug-in You can install the plug-in from the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Utilities CD or the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Update CD. You can also download the plug-in from the Sun Microsystems World Wide Web site at http://www.sun.com/. NOTES: In order to take full advantage of the enhanced switch management capabilities, you cannot launch the Switch Manager from a PowerVault 50F switch. The only Switch Manager features available on the PowerVault 50F are Fabric View (without the Name Server Table and Zone Administration), and a single-page Switch Administration Interface. To prevent domain name system (DNS) spoofing, the Java class libraries used for the Switch Manager perform a reverse lookup of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to resolve to corresponding device names. You must have a name resolution service with reverse lookup (such as DNS, Windows Internet Naming Service [WINS], or Network Information Service [NIS]) enabled on the Ethernet network that connects the switches in the managed fabric; the entries should correspond to the switches in the fabric. support.dell.com Using the Dell PowerVault Switch Manager 2-1
