Host management
Extensive management operations are supported on the switches and fabrics of the SAN using the
Management application. Adapters and hosts are visible as part of the fabrics managed by the
Management application.
The Management application integrates with another manageability application called the Host
Connectivity Manager (HCM) to provide complete management of the Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)
and Converged Network Adapters (CNAs).
The Management application focuses on operations such as fault management, performance
management, and configuration management for multiple adapters and adapter ports and security
configuration using Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) that is set up on the adapter port and
the switch.
HCM supports management for individual adapters (4/8/16 Gbps HBAs), 10 Gbps CNAs, 10 Gbps
or 16 Gbps Fabric Adapters, and other devices, such as the host, DCB ports, FCoE ports, and
Ethernet ports.
