1 Introducing Web Tools This chapter provides the following information: • Overview on page 1–1 • Advantages of Web Tools on page 1–1 • Capabilities of Web Tools on page 1–2 • Web Tools Main Views on page 1–4 Overview Web Tools provides a graphical interface that allows the administrator to monitor and manage entire fabrics and individual switches and ports from a standard workstation. It is a standard product that runs on all StorageWorks switches running the V3.0.x or 4.0.x firmware streams.
Introducing Web Tools • Web Tools provides the “Performance Monitor” feature. This feature allows you to view the status and traffic of a switch or port in seconds by easily creating a variety of effective graphs. • Web Tools is easy and intuitive to use. Capabilities of Web Tools Web Tools provides the following information: • Monitoring and managing the entire fabric. See “Fabric View” on page 3–1. • Monitoring and managing individual switches. See “Switch View” on page 4–1.
Introducing Web Tools When monitoring and managing individual switches, Web Tools allows you to perform the functions listed in Table 1–2. Table 1–2: Monitoring and Managing Individual Switches Task Page number View summary information about each switch. See the “Switch Events View” on page 4–6. View event logs for individual switches. See the “Switch Events View” on page 4–6. Perform switch configuration and administration.
Introducing Web Tools When monitoring and managing individual ports, Web Tools allows you to perform the functions listed in Table 1–3. Table 1–3: Monitoring and Managing Individual Ports Task Page number View the port status. See “PortStats Tab” on page 5–5 and the “PortStats Tab” on page 5–14. View information about GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter)/SFP (Small form factor pluggable) Serial IDs. See “SFP Tab” on page 5–17 (3.0.x) or the “SFP Tab” on page 5–17 (4.0.x). View loop information.
Introducing Web Tools NOTE: Switch status is calculated approximately once every 15 seconds; however the initial display does not occur until 30-60 seconds after the switch is booted. It is calculated from the state of data structures in the switch, and stored as the variable switchStatus. NOTE: For all statuses that are based on errors per time interval, any errors will not cause the status to show faulty until the entire sample interval has passed. See Figure 1–1 for an example of Fabric View.
Introducing Web Tools Administrative Interface, Performance View, and Port Information View. It includes buttons that display the status of the switch fans, temperature monitors, switch info, switch status, power supply, High Availability (for 4.0.x), and beacon. See Figure 1–2 and Figure 1–3 for examples of Switch View. For information about the functions that are accessible through the Switch View, see “Switch View” on page 4–1. 1–6 Web Tools Version 3.0.x/4.0.
