12 Introducing Advanced Web Tools
Capabilities
The following are some of the tasks you can perform using Advanced Web Tools:
• Monitor and manage the entire fabric.
• View fabric-level information, such as the existence of other MP Routers or switches in the fabric.
• Configure and administer the MP Router.
• View information about devices in the fabric.
• Monitor switch hardware component status.
• Configure and manage ports in the fabric, including EX_Ports on the MP Router.
• Manage zone-related objects, such as zones, zone aliases, and zone configurations.
• Filter and monitor switch event logs.
• Monitor port status and performance, including frame counts (frames in, frames out) and error counts.
• Monitor and manage Fibre Channel routing.
Supported operating systems and browsers
Table 2 lists supported operating systems and identifies the browsers and Java
TM
Plug-ins that can be used
on the operating systems.
Adequate RAM is required on Windows systems, as follows:
• 128 MB or more of RAM for fabrics comprising 10 switches or fewer
• 256 MB or more of RAM for fabrics comprising 11 to 15 switches or fewer
• 512 MB or more of RAM for fabrics comprising more than 15 switches
HP also recommends a minimum of 8 MB of video RAM.
Supported platforms
Advanced Web Tools is part of the firmware of an MP Router. When you log in to Advanced Web Tools
on an MP Router, you can manage other MP Routers in the fabric. When accessing these MP Routers, you
are opening the remote MP Router’s version of Advanced Web Tools; the functionality available for these
MP Routers might vary.
From Advanced Web Tools, you can also manage other HP (non-MP Router) switches. When accessing
these switches, you are opening the remote switch version of Fabric OS Advanced Web Tools, rather than
the XPath OS version. See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide
for more information on this management interface.
