Using SANsurfer
The SANsurfer application is based on Java 1.1 and operates on Netscape
Navigator 4.5 or newer:
The SANsurfer application operates on the following platforms (management
stations):
• Windows NT
• Solaris 2.7
• Solaris 2.8
SANsurfer can manage multiple chassis within a fabric through a single Ethernet
connection to any one chassis in the fabric. It can also manage multiple fabrics. All
