Setting up External Tools
You can add URLs for accessing external tools used for managing an element, such as Hitachi
HiCommand Device Manager and EMC ControlCenter™ Navisphere for sentertorage systems.
NOTE: When you add a URL, it applies only to the element you originally right-clicked.
To add a URL for accessing external tools:
1. Access System Manager.
2. Right-click the element, and select External Tools > Set Up External Tools.
3. Click Add New Management URL.
4. In the Description box, enter the name of the product you plan to access.
5. In the URL box, enter the URL that is used to access the product.
6. Click OK.
When you right-click the element and select External Tools, the external tool is listed.
To delete the URL for an external tool, click the corresponding button in the External Tools
window.
About the Navigation Tab
The Navigation tab not only provides information about an element, but it also illustrates how the
element relates to other elements in its path. For example, the Navigation page displays logical and
physical components, such as ports, zone sets, zones and zone aliases. It also displays the
dependencies for switches, as shown in the figure below.
Keep in mind the following:
• When McDATA or Connectrix switches are discovered through a proxy by using SNMP, you
cannot view or perform any provisioning operations for those switches. For example, you cannot
view zone sets, zones, or zone aliases.
• When McDATA or Connectrix switches are discovered by their IP address by using SNMP, you
can only view the active zone set and its members. You cannot create, modify, or delete a zone
set or its members.
