Managing the DS-300B
You can use the management functions built into the DS-300B to monitor
the fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information to
help you analyze switch performance and to accelerate system debugging.
The DS-300B automatically performs power-on-self-test (POST) each time
it is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the error log. For more
information about POST, see “POST and boot specifications” on page 42.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on
your switch, refer to the Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
You can manage the DS-300B using any of the management options listed
in Table 5
.
Note: To achieve in-band support for IP over Fibre Channel, the software
must be run on both the HBA and the switch, and it must be supported by
both the HBA and HBA driver
