ED-64M Director Operating Features
results in little communication overhead in the protocol and a
director Bit Error Rate (BER) not exceeding one bit error per
trillion (10
-12
) bits.
◆
Local control — Actions taking place at a device N_Port seldom
affect operation of other ports, therefore servers need to maintain
little or no information about other connected devices in a SAN.
◆
Multiple topology support —The director supports single-switch
and multiswitch fabric topologies.
Refer to the EMC Connectrix Enterprise Storage Network System Planning
Guide for more information on creating a multiswitch fabric.
Director
Management Management access to the ED-64M Director is provided through an
Ethernet LAN connection to the director’s CTP card. The following
management access methods are provided:
◆
The Connectrix Manager and ED-64M Product Manager
applications — These Java-based GUIs reside on the Connectrix
service processor under control of the Microsoft Windows NT
operating system. Remote clients can also be installed onto
remote user workstations. Refer to Chapter 3, Product Manager
Overview for information about the interfaces.
Remote operators can connect to the Connectrix service processor
through the Connectrix Manager Client application on their
workstations, to manage and monitor directors controlled by the
Connectrix service processor. A maximum of nine concurrent
users (including a local user) can log in to the Connectrix
Manager application.
◆
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) — An SNMP
agent is implemented through the Product Manager application
that allows administrators on SNMP management workstations
to access director management information using any standard
network management tool. Administrators can assign IP
addresses and corresponding community names for up to six
SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message
recipients.
Figure 1-2 illustrates out-of-band director management through the
Connectrix service processor, SNMP management station, and
remote user workstation configurations.
