Using SANsurfer
The SANsurfer application is based on Java 1.1 and operates on Netscape
Navigator 4.5 or newer:
The SANsurfer application operates on the following platforms (management
stations):
• Windows NT
• Solaris 2.7
• Solaris 2.8
SANsurfer can manage multiple chassis within a fabric through a single Ethernet
connection to any one chassis in the fabric. It can also manage multiple fabrics. All
managed Switch chassis must be in the MKII and SANbox families of Switches.
The SANsurfer application is embedded in each SANbox Switch chassis. No
installation is required for operation on NT-based management stations. However,
NOTE:
Macintosh equipment does not support Java 1.1.
