26 The SAN Management Interface
Panels
The AMC interface consists of three information panels:
• The navigation panel presents you with a hierarchically organized representation of SAN
components, using special graphical conventions as well as textual information to represent SAN
structure
• The graphical panel presents you with a nontextual representation of your SAN, except for the text-
bearing menus mapped to hotspots
• The data panel lists component, configuration, and build specifications for SAN components
Received Event Trap Window
Whenever AMC is running, a separate window showing the received event traps is always open. This
window can be minimized, but not closed.
When the AMC SAN client is launched, a Received Event Traps window is displayed at the same time as
the SAN Management window. If and when event traps are issued, messages appear in this window. You
cannot close this window while the client is running, but you can minimize it. For more about traps, refer to
Monitoring and Managing Event Logs
on page 93.
Reading the SAN Management Information Panels
The AMC main screen is made up of three panels.
• The navigation panel lists SNCs and libraries with SNCs in IP address order. Detailed information
about each configuration is coded into the display, both verbally and graphically.
• When an SNC or library has been selected in the navigation view, the graphical panel represents
configuration information for that unit in a nonverbal format.
• When an SNC or library has been selected in the navigation view, the data panel presents status
information about it in table format.
Navigation Panel
The left panel of the interactive display is called the navigation panel. In it, SAN components are
hierarchically displayed.
SNCs and Scalar 24, 100, 1000, and 10K Libraries
The navigation panel string representing a standalone SNC, a Scalar 24, a Scalar 100, a Scalar 1000, or a
Scalar 10K consists of three elements: the unit’s IP address, its name, and its product family.
Click the node symbol at the left of a library’s graphic to show aggregated Storage Networking Controllers
(SNCs).
The node symbol is a toggle. Clicking it a second time collapses the expansion.
• Scalar 10K tape libraries contain multiple SNCs
Note
An SNC is considered aggregated when it has been installed in a library, as
opposed to performing as a standalone unit.
