Product Management
41SAN High Availability Planning Guide
■ Management through a PC-based Telnet session using the CLI. Any platform
that supports Telnet client software can be used.
Figure 13 illustrates an example of out-of-band product management. In the
figure, the managed product is a Director 2/64. The customer intranet could be an
HP Ethernet hub providing device connectivity.
Figure 13: Out-of-band product management
The following inband management access methods are provided as options:
■ Management through the product’s Open Systems management server
(OSMS) that communicates with an application client. The application resides
on an open-systems interconnection (OSI) device attached to a director or
switch port and communicates using Fibre Channel common transport
(FC-CT) protocol. Product operation, port connectivity, zoning, and fabric
control are managed through a device-attached console. Refer to “Inband
Management Access (Optional)” on page 145 for information.
