Out-of-Band SAN Management

Out-of-Band (OOB) remote SAN management is achieved by sending the remote management requests over a LAN using the Ethernet TCP/IP protocol to remote hosts.

In-band management is achieved by sending the remote management requests over a SAN to remote hosts.

The principle differences between in-band and out-of-band SAN Management are:

•A management host with an HBA installed does not need to connect to a fabric to manage other hosts.

•An OOB management host can manage all of the HBAs in a remote host, not just the ones connected to the same fabric. In-band can only manage HBAs connected to the same fabric.

•You can manage many more hosts since OOB is not constrained by the boundaries of a fabric or zoning.

•True board status (e.g. link down) is available since the in-band path is not necessary to send a status request to the remote host.

•HBA security in an OOB environment is much more important since many more hosts are available for management and OOB access is not affected by fabrics or zoning.

•Discovery of hosts in an OOB environment is much more difficult than in-band discovery.
