280 Implementing an Open IBM SAN
4.3.2 Using the StorWatch SAN Data Gateway Specialist
Once you are logged in to the Specialist, you must now connect to the SAN Data
Gateway. At this point, a dialog box should appear, requesting the IP address of
the SAN Data Gateway. As it connects, it will download the information from the
SAN Data Gateway and be presented on your window.
If a dialog box does
not appear automatically, select Tools-> Connect SAN
Data Gateway or SAN Data Gateway Router from the toolbar. This can also
be used to connect to several Gateways or Routers from a single client session.
In Figure 4-6, we show the initial view once a connection to a SAN Data Gateway
is established and the data has been downloaded.
Figure 4-6 StorWatch SAN Data Gateway Specialist initial view
The left side of the window shows the SAN Data Gateway unit we are connected
to, and the right side provides product data information. You will also notice that
the toolbar will have options available that were previously greyed out. You can
now connect to another SAN Data Gateway, disconnect from a SAN Data
Gateway, enable and access the Zoning and VPS features, restart the Gateway,
and also refresh the data to your window by downloading it again.
These options become available when a SAN Data Gateway is highlighted. As
you begin to add SAN Data Gateway systems or drill-down into a particular
Gateway by selecting and highlighting different channels or ports, different
options will become available and other options will become greyed out and
unavailable. Be aware of what system, channel, or port is highlighted as you
move through the toolbar.
