Product Management 2 Element Manager Application • Centralized configuration - Vendor-specific device management applications can be launched from the SAN management application, including McDATA Element Manager applications. The application also provides management of director and switch zoning across multiple vendors and product models. • Monitoring and notification - The application provides realtime monitoring and event notification for devices in the SAN. Informational, warning, and fatal events are recorded. The application also monitors port throughput and link performance for the entire SAN, allowing administrators to identify and solve congestion and latency issues. The SAN management application opens automatically when the management server desktop is accessed, and the SANavigator or EFCM main window opens by default. McDATA products, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products, and other devices display as icons in the SANavigator main window. Only McDATA products (managed or unmanaged) display as icons in the EFCM main window. A label below each icon identifies the managed product. For additional information about SAN management applications, refer to the SANavigator Software Release 4.2 User Manual (621-000013) or the EFC Manager Software Release 8.7 User Manual (620-000170). An Element Manager application is provided for each managed product. The Element Manager application works in conjunction with the SAN management application and is a Java-based GUI for managing and monitoring a director or switch. The application operates locally on the management server or through a network connection from a remote PC or workstation. NOTE: An Element Manager application is not supported for the Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch. To open an Element Manager application, right-click the product icon at the SAN management application's physical map, then select the Element Manager option from the pop-up menu. When the Element Manager application opens, the last view (tab) accessed by a user opens by default. As an example, the Hardware View (Figure 2-5) for the Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch is shown. 2-16 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
