This chapter describes the requirements for the Dell PowerVault Switch Manager and

how to launch and use the Switch Manager.

$%

To use the Switch Manager, your system must meet the following requirements:



Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape 4.0 or later with Microsoft

Windows NT 4.0 operating systems



Netscape 4.0 or later with Sun Solaris 2.5 or later systems



16-bit or higher color



Java 1.2.2 plug-in

You can install the plug-in from the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Utilities CD or

the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Update CD. You can also download the plug-in

from the Sun Microsystems World Wide Web site at

http://www.sun.com/

NOTES: In order to take full advantage of the enhanced switch management capabili-

ties, you cannot launch the Switch Manager from a PowerVault 50F switch.

The only Switch Manager features available on the PowerVault 50F are

Fabric View

(without the

Name Server Table

and

Zone Administration

), and a single-page

Switch Administration Interface

To prevent domain name system (DNS) spoofing, the Java class libraries used for the

Switch Manager perform a reverse lookup of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to

resolve to corresponding device names. You must have a name resolution service

with reverse lookup (such as DNS, Windows Internet Naming Service [WINS], or Net-

work Information Service [NIS]) enabled on the Ethernet network that connects the

switches in the managed fabric; the entries should correspond to the switches in the

fabric.
