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.

1–1Web Tools Version 3.0.x/4.0.x User Guide

Introducing Web Tools

• Web Tools provides the “Performance Monitor” feature. This feature allows you to view the status and traffic of a switch or port in seconds by easily creating a variety of effective graphs.

• Web Tools is easy and intuitive to use.

Capabilities of Web Tools

Web Tools provides the following information:

• Monitoring and managing the entire fabric. See “Fabric View” on page 3–1.

• Monitoring and managing individual switches. See “Switch View” on page 4–1.

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).

1–4 Web Tools Version 3.0.x/4.0.x User Guide

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.

2. Click Advanced in the Category box to expand it, then click Cache.

3. On the Cache panel, click Clear Memory Cache.

4. Click Clear Disk Cache.

5. Click OK.

6. Exit and relaunch the browser.

Configuring Internet Explorer

Correct operation of Web Tools with Internet Explorer requires clearing the browser cache after installation, and specifying the appropriate settings for browser refresh frequency and process model.

2–3Web Tools Version 3.0.x/4.0.x User Guide 2–3

Installing and Launching Web Tools

• The browser cache must be cleared after the installation of Fabric OS V4.0.x. The browser may use local cache copies of .jar files and/or image files to improve performance (depending on options selected in browser), which can cause incorrect display.

When administering Zoning, the following steps are recommended:

1. Define zone aliases to establish groupings.

2. Add zone members.

3. Place zones into one or more zone configurations.

4. Enable one of the zone configurations (only one can be enabled at a time).

There are three separate methods for adding members to a zone. Each method corresponds to a zoning “mode,” and the combination of the methods corresponds to an additional mode. Once a mode is selected, all operations on zones must use the zoning object selected. Zoning operations must correspond to that mode, and any zones, aliases, and configuration files which cannot be selected.
