In-Band Array Management Issues
In-band management is supported on the Sun StorageTek 6130, 6140, 6540, 2530 and

About the In-Band Proxy Agent
The in-band management proxy agent is a package which is added to a host (or
group of hosts) with in-band connectivity via Fibre Channel to the storage array.
An external management station can then talk to this proxy host via an out-of-
band connection and the management commands are then relayed to the storage
device via the in-band path. This is a transparent proxy agent which simply
converts the RPC request packets to UTM SCSI- specific messages. The API CAM
uses to manage the arrays is identical whether the array is managed via the in-
band or out-of-band path.
Multiple in-band proxy hosts may be used to access the same array and multiple
arrays are allowed behind a single proxy host.
Installation of the proxy agents is accomplished via the standard package
addition tools inherent to the specific operating system. For example, the
pkgadd(1M) command would be used to install the Solaris agent and the
associated Java Runtime package should also be installed. For Linux, the
