Introduction

The Emulex

OneCommand

Manager application is a comprehensive management utility for Emulex

LightPulse

host bus adapters (HBAs) and OneConnect

universal converged network adapters

(UCNAs) that provides a powerful, centralized adapter management suite. Adapter management

includes discovery, reporting and management of local and remote adapters from a single console

anywhere in the Storage Area Network (SAN) and across operating system platforms. Remote

configuration capability can be provided by either Fibre Channel (FC) access via host systems on the

same FC SAN or by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) access from IP addresses

of remote machines. The OneCommand Manager application contains a graphical user interface (GUI)

and a command line interface (CLI). This manual describes the OneCommand Manager application for

the following operating systems:

• Windows

•Linux

• VMware ESX Server

• Solaris

This OneCommand Manager installation includes options to install the OneCommand Vision Sensor

Application. The OneCommand Vision Sensor is designed to work with the Emulex OneCommand

Vision system, it is designed to collect critical I/O performance data while consuming the smallest

possible production server memory and CPU footprint.

The OneCommand Vision system is an intelligent application that enables proactive management of I/O

within a data center environment. OneCommand Vision gives IT administrators the ability to maximize

I/O resource utilization, identify bottlenecks, and enhance performance and availability by monitoring

and analyzing the I/O traffic within the infrastructure. OneCommand Vision collects, analyzes and

organizes critical I/O performance data; helping organizations establish performance baselines,

proactively monitor performance against those baselines, and lower time to resolution when problems

occur. For more information please visit http://www.emulex.com/vision/.
