Fabric management
The Simple SAN Connection Manager application is a GUI-based management application for HP
StorageWorks that runs on the management station. It provides basic automated configuration and
management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices. Switch management functions include IP address
configuration and limited control of zoning.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch firmware and provide for the
management of individual switches in a single fabric.
Consider how many fabrics and switches will be managed, how many workstations are needed, and
whether the fabrics will be managed with Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins, which are reserved as follows:
• 4 logins or sessions for internal applications, such as management server and SNMP
• 9 high priority Telnet sessions
• 6 logins or sessions for Simple SAN Connection Manager inband and out-of-band logins, QuickTools
logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.
