Product Manager Overview
Product Manager Overview
The Product Manager for the ED-64M Director has a Java-based
graphical user interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management,
configuration, and monitoring functions for individual directors and
their field-replaceable units (FRUs). Although each Product Manager
is accessed from the Connectrix Manager, it is a separate application.
In contrast to the Product Manager, the Connectrix Manager enables
administrators to monitor operational status for all products and
Fibre Channel fabrics managed by an Connectrix service processor.
The Connectrix Manager also provides tools to administer user and
product access to the Connectrix Manager and Product Manager.
(Refer to the Connectrix Manager User Guide.)
The Product Manager provides graphical views of director hardware
components and displays of component status. By positioning the
cursor on icons, graphics, panels, and other visual elements in these
views and clicking the left or right mouse button, you can quickly
manage and monitor the director on your network.
Using the Product Manager, you can:
◆
Back up and restore configuration data.
◆
Clear the system error indicator.
◆
Configure extended distance buffering for ports.
◆
Configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the director.
◆
Configure individual ports with a port name describing the node
attached to the port.
◆
Configure link incident (LIN) alerts.
◆
Configure port binding (if the Port Binding feature is enabled).
◆
Configure nicknames to appear instead of WWNs for switches
and attached devices.
◆
Configure port address configurations (FICON mode only).
◆
Configure SNMP trap recipients and community names.
◆
Configure the FICON and Open Systems Management Server
features (if installed).
◆
Configure switch binding if the optional Enterprise Fabric
Extensions feature is installed.
