What is the QLogic Management Suite?
The QLogic Management Suite utilities configure and control Storage Area
Networks (SANs). The suite is made up of two software utilities: QLconfig and
QLview.
❑ QLconfig controls the configuration and availability of a SAN. Use this
utility to configure storage resources and share storage resources efficiently.
❑ QLview provides configuration information, statistics, diagnostics, and
alarm notification for a SAN. Use this utility to monitor both the QLA2xxx
adapters and the attached storage devices. QLview data can be easily
integrated into other network and system management software.
The QLogic Management Suite uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The
QLA2xxx adapters being controlled are pictured, along with their attributes,
making it easy to control the devices either locally or remotely. The QLogic
Management Suite works with the following operating systems: Windows NT,
Windows 2000, and Novell NetWare. Support of multiple operating systems allows
control of heterogeneous environments.
