SAN06B-R management
You can use the management functions built into the switch to monitor the fabric
topology, port status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze
switch performance and to accelerate system debugging.
Note: The switch automatically performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it
is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the error log. For more information
about POST, see “Interpreting POST results” on page 30.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on your switch,
see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
You can manage the switch using any of the management options listed in Table 4.
