QConvergeConsole Management Agents (qlremote/netqlremote)

Configuration management – QConvergeConsole allows you to configure local and remote systems. With QConvergeConsole you can configure QLogic adapters and connected devices. It also lets you update adapter parameters, firmware, boot code, and drivers.

NOTE:

You can install the adapter driver before you install the adapter hardware.

Statistics – QConvergeConsole provides statistics for each host and adapter port. These statistics can be collected automatically or on request. They can be reset at any time. In addition, you can export the statistics to a comma separated values (CSV) file that can be imported into other applications, for example, Microsoft® Excel.

Reports – QConvergeConsole provides a report facility that lets you generate reports, which you can use to view lists of all SAN assets: adapters, devices, and LUNs. After generating reports, you can view them and save them to a variety of file formats.

E-mail notifications – QConvergeConsole can automatically send notifications with a copy of the current host configuration to an e-mail distribution list, thus enabling the information to be opened and analyzed from other locations.

Wizards – QConvergeConsole provides some easy-to-use wizards that walk you through Flash and driver parameter file updates on Fibre Channel and Converged Network Adapters.

For information about obtaining, installing, configuring, and using the QConvergeConsole, refer to “Installing and Launching the QConvergeConsole” on page 3-40.

QConvergeConsole Management Agents (qlremote/netqlremote)

The QConvergeConsole agents provide remote management for QLogic adapters through the QConvergeConsole web management interface.

The SuperInstaller utilities install the FC-FCoE management agent (qlremote) and the Ethernet networking management agent (netqlremote) that enable you to manage 8100 Series Adapters connected to the QConvergeConsole server where the agents reside.
