SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

This chapter explains how to use the SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface (SDM-GUI) application to configure and monitor storage configurations with the LSISAS6160 SAS switch. The SDM-GUI utility is a Java Web Start application, and the LSISAS6160 SAS switch functions as an HTTP server that launches it. You can run the SDM-GUI utility from a browser by pointing the browser to the switch’s IP address.

SDM-GUI has an easy-to-use graphical interface that enables you to manage the host switch, and other switches or expanders within the domain in which the host switch resides. You can use the interface to view domain information, create and modify aliases, and manage zone groups and zone sets.

3.1

SDM-GUI Accounts

You can run SDM from a user account or from an admin account.

The user account allows you to view the domain topology, configuration, and operating environment. The default password is user.

The admin account allows you to view the same information as the user account. In addition, it allows you to change the configuration of the domain and of the managed devices within the domain. The default password is admin.

The SAS6160 switch’s zone manager password is handled separately. Its default password is lynx.

3.2

Starting SDM-GUI

Follow these steps to start SDM-GUI:

1.Open a web browser and point it to the switch’s IP address or host name. Java Web Start downloads and launches the SDM-GUI automatically. The Password window appears.

2.Enter your user name and password.

3.Click Login.

The main window and Summary tab appear.
