Product Management
Management Server Support
The management server is a one rack unit (1U) high, LAN-accessed,
rack-mount unit that provides a central point of control for up to 48
connected directors, fabric switches, or SAN routers. The server
desktop is accessed through a LAN-attached PC and standard web
browser. Figure 2-3 illustrates the server with attached liquid crystal
display (LCD) panel.
Figure 2-3 Management Server
The server is rack mounted in the McDATA-supplied FC-512
Fabricenter equipment cabinet. A SANpilot interface or management
server is required to install, configure, and manage a product.
Although a configured product operates normally without server
intervention, an attached management server should operate at all
times to monitor product operation, log events and configuration
changes, and report failures.
