Introducing the DS-4900B
Managing the DS-4900B
You can use the management functions built into the DS-4900B to
monitor the fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other
information to help you analyze switch performance and to
accelerate system debugging.
The DS-4900B automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) each
time it is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the system error log.
For more information about POST, see “POST and boot
specifications” on page 6-13.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed
on your switch, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
You can manage the DS-4900B using any of the management options
listed in Table 1-1.
Note: To achieve in-band support for IP-over-Fibre Channel, the software
must be run on both the HBA and the switch, and it must be supported by
both the HBA and HBA driver.
