Application
This section describes the SANvergence Manager and Element
Manager applications that provide a GUI to monitor and manage
SAN routers, attached Fibre Channel elements, and metropolitan
storage area network (mSAN) connectivity. An Element Manager
application is provided for Eclipse 1620 and 2640 SAN Routers.
Application GUI The SANvergence Manager application is an intuitive GUI that
communicates with an attached metropolitan simple name server
(mSNS). Through the mSNS, the application auto-discovers all SAN
Routers, directors, and fabric switches in the mSAN; monitors
product operational status, and reports problems in an event log.
The application is opened from the management server Windows
desktop. When the application starts, the main window opens
(Figure 2-8).
