Managing the DS-5300B
You can use the management functions built into the DS-5300B 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-5300B automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) each time it
is turned on. Any errors are recorded in the system error log. For more
information about POST, see “POST and boot specifications” on page 41.
For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on your
switch, see the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
You can manage the DS-5300B using any of the management options listed
in Table 3
.
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.
