Product Manager Overview
Product Manager Overview
The Product Manager for the DS-32M2 is a Java-based graphical user
interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration,
and monitoring functions for individual switches and their
field-replaceable units (FRUs). Although each Product Manager is
accessed from the Connectrix Manager, it is a separate application.
In contrast to the Product Manager, the Connectrix Manager enables
administrators to monitor operational status for all products and
Fibre Channel fabrics managed by a Connectrix service processor.
The Connectrix Manager also provides tools to administer user and
product access to the Connectrix Manager and Product Manager.
(Refer to the Connectrix Manager User Guide.)
The Product Manager provides graphical views of switch hardware
components and component status. By positioning the cursor on
icons, graphics, panels, and other visual elements in these views and
clicking the mouse/touchpad, you can quickly manage and monitor
the switch on your network.
Using the Product Manager, you can:
◆ Back up and restore configuration data.
◆ Clear the system error indicator.
◆ Configure extended distance buffering for ports.
◆ Configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the switch.
◆ Configure individual ports with a port name describing the node
attached to the port.
◆ Configure link incident (LIN) alerts.
◆ Configure port binding (if the port binding feature is enabled).
◆ Configure Nicknames to display instead of WWNs for switches
and attached devices.
◆ Configure port address configurations (S/390 mode only).
◆ Configure SNMP trap recipients and community names.
◆ Configure the operating mode between Open Systems and S/390.
◆ Configure an interoperability mode for multiswitch fabrics.
◆ Configure the switch name, location, description, and contact
person.
