Product Management 2 Element Manager Application An Element Manager application is provided for each managed product (Intrepid 6064 Director, Intrepid 6140 Director, Intrepid 10000 Director, Sphereon 3232 Switch, and Sphereon 4500 Switch). NOTE: An Element Manager application is not supported for the Sphereon 4300 Switch. 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. To open an Element Manager application, right-click the product icon (Figure 2-6) at the SAN management application's physical map, then select the Element Manager option from the pop-up menu. The product icon for a Sphereon 4500 Switch is shown. Figure 2-6 Sphereon 4500 Product Icon When the Element Manager application opens, the last view (tab) accessed by a user opens by default. As an example, the Hardware View (Figure 2-7) for the Sphereon 4500 Switch is shown. An Intrepid 6064, Intrepid 6140, Intrepid 10000, Sphereon 3232, or Sphereon 4500 Status table appears at the top of the window, and a graphical representation of the hardware (front and rear) appears in the center of the window. The graphical representation of the product emulates the hardware configuration and operational status of the corresponding real product. For example, if a director or switch is fully redundant and fully populated, this configuration is reflected in the Hardware View. Colored symbols appear on the graphical field-replaceable units (FRUs) to represent failed or degraded status. The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) also highlight to emulate real LED operation.
