Overview

Web Tools provides a graphical interface that allows the administrator to monitor and

manage entire fabrics and individual switches and ports from a standard workstation.

It is a standard product that runs on all StorageWorks switches running the V3.0.x or

4.0.x firmware streams.

NOTE: Web Tools is part of the switch’s firmware. The version of Web Tools is the same as the

version of the firmware.

Introducing Web Tools

Advantages of Web Tools

Web Tools is an excellent partner to the traditional Telnet commands, and in many

ways can provide faster and more effective results than can be achieved strictly

through a Command Line Interface (CLI).

The following are some of the features that make Web Tools an important part of the

switch management and administration process:

• Web Tools can be used from a standard workstation and provides the user the advantage of being “virtually” in front of any fabric, switch, or port.

• Web Tools makes zoning a simple “click and drag” process, rather than having to type out WWN addresses and port numbers to put in a configuration.

• Web Tools is easy and intuitive to use.

Web Tools Main Views

Web Tools provides access to and information about a fabric through a number of separate windows, called “views”, making it possible to manage and monitor several aspects of a fabric at the same time.

The main views available through Web Tools are:

• Fabric View—Figure 1–1

• Switch View—Figure 1–2 and Figure 1–3

• Port Information View—Figure 1–4

Fabric View

This view displays a control panel that provides access to fabric-wide options, a panel for each switch in the fabric, plus a legend that explains the meaning of the background colors on the switch icons. Each panel contains an icon that represents the switch itself, in addition to icons for Switch Events and the Administrative and Telnet interfaces. The background color of the switch icon represents the status of that particular switch or Integrated Fabric (as defined by the Status Legend provided in the window).

Introducing Web Tools

NOTE: Switch status is calculated approximately once every 15 seconds; however the initial display does not occur until 30-60 seconds after the switch is booted. It is calculated from the state of data structures in the switch, and stored as the variable switchStatus.

NOTE: For all statuses that are based on errors per time interval, any errors will not cause the status to show faulty until the entire sample interval has passed.

See Figure 1–1 for an example of Fabric View. For information about the functions that are accessible through Fabric View, see “Fabric View” on page 3–1.
