8/20q Fibre Channel Switch installation and reference guide 17
Switch management
The switch supports the following management tools and protocols:
• QuickTools web applet, page 17
• Simple SAN Connection Manager, page 17
• Command line interface, page 17
• Simple Network Management Protocol, page 17
• Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S), page 17
• File transfer protocols, page 17
QuickTools web applet
QuickTools is a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides switch management capabilties
beyond those of Simple SAN Connection Manager. You run QuickTools by opening the switch IP address
with an internet browser on your workstation. See the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
QuickTools switch management user guide. QuickTools provides the following management features:
• Faceplate device management
• Switch and port statistics
• Configuration wizard
• Zoning administration
• Fabric tree for fabric management
• User account configuration
• Switch and fabric events
• Operational and environmental statistics
• Global device nicknames
• Inband management of other switches in the fabric
• Online help
Simple SAN Connection Manager
HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for HP
StorageWorks that runs on a workstation known as the management station. It provides basic automated
configuration and management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices.
Command line interface
The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the
administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is available over an Ethernet connection or
a serial connection. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
command line interface guide.
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch firmware supports SNMP versions
1 and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element
Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2. For
more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Simple Network Management
Protocol reference guide.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the SMI-S. For
more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch CIM Agent reference guide.
File transfer protocols
FTP and TFTP provide the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch and the
workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files. For more information
about FTP and TFTP, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command line interface guide.
