Product Management
This chapter describes the management of McDATA multi-protocol
products, including Intrepid-series directors, Sphereon-series fabric
switches, and Eclipse-series SAN routers. The chapter specifically
describes:
• Product management, including out-of-band (non-Fibre Channel)
methods, inband (fibre connection (FICON) or Fibre Channel)
methods, and a management interface summary.
• Management server support, including a description of the
rack-mount management server (with specifications), associated
Ethernet hub, and optional remote workstation support.
• Product firmware, including Enterprise Operating System, classic
(E/OSc); Enterprise Operating System, nScale (E/OSn); and
Enterprise Operating System, internetworking (E/OSi).
• Backup and restore features.
• Storage area network (SAN) management applications
and associated Element Manager application graphical user
interfaces (GUIs).
• The Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFCM) Basic
Edition interface.
• The command line interface (CLI).
