Diagnostics If management server or customer-supplied server platform access is

not available, the SANpilot interface provides a GUI accessed

through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage, monitor, and

isolate problems for a single switch. This interface is available with

switch firmware Version 1.2 (or later) installed, and does not replace

nor offer the full management capability of the EFC Manager and

Sphereon 3032/3232 Element Manager applications.

The SANpilot interface can be opened from a standard web browser

running Netscape Navigator® 4.6 or higher or Microsoft Internet

Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the browser, enter the IP address of the

switch as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL). When

prompted at a login screen, enter a user name and password. When

the interface opens, the default display is the View panel. Service

personnel can perform the monitoring, configuration, maintenance

and diagnostic functions as follows:

•View panel - quickly inspect and determine the operational

status of the switch, and inspect switch properties and operating

parameters, FRU properties, and Fibre Channel port properties.

•Configure panel - configure or change:

—Switch ports.

— Switch identification, date and time, operating parameters,

and network addresses.

— User passwords.

•Monitor panel - inspect and monitor:
