Management features
The management tools built into the 8Gb SAN Switch (listed in Table 11) can be used to monitor
fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information used for performance analysis and
system debugging.
When running IP over FC, these management tools must be run on both the Fibre Channel host and
the switch and must be supported by the Fibre Channel host driver. For a list of Fibre Channel hosts
supported by the 8Gb SAN Switch, contact your HP representative.

switches to be managed to the FC IP address of the first switch.
