EMC Connectrix DS-32M2 User Manual

C-4 Connectrix DS-32M2 User Guide
Configuring the Switch from a Web Server
a. Connectrix Manager displays the WWNs of all connected N_Ports and allows
the user to drag and drop the WWNs into the zones. Connectrix Manager
allows the user to configure nicknames for the WWNs. The Embedded Web
Server does not have nicknames or drag and drop zoning; however, it does
have a pull-down box that allows you to select the WWN for any attached node.
If a DS-xxM is managed by a Connectrix service processor and zoning changes
are made directly to the DS-xxM using the EWS, those changes will not be
reflected in the Zoning Library on the Connectrix service processor.
b. Connectrix Manager has the capability to call home to the Support Center 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. The Embedded Web Server does not have this
feature built in. Call-home support for standalone DS-xxM switches is done
using the new MIB in microcode 1.2/1.4/2.0. EMC ControlCenter WebEdition
4.3 and OnAlert interface with this MIB to provide call-home support.
c. Connectrix Manager can back up all zoning, operating parameters,
identification, nicknames, user rights, and logs. Connectrix Manager also has an
utility that will perform automatic backups. The Embedded Web Server does
not have backup capabilities; however it does have the ability to manually
download switch configuration data via the File Transfer tab.
d. Connectrix Manager can view multiple switches/directors and multiple fabrics.
The Embedded Web Server can view the switch on a one-to-one relationship
only; thus, the user can manager/monitor only one switch at a time.
e. Both Connectrix Manager and the Embedded Web Server can perform firmware
upgrades on line; however, only Connectrix Manager has a firmware library.
