The RamSan-220 includes the Management Control Port (MCP) which is
accessed through Ethernet. Administrators can telnet into the RamSan-220
in order to perform the following management tasks:
- Monitor system performance.
- Perform system diagnostics.
- Establish up to 64 LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers). The LUNs can be used by a single server
or shared across many servers.
- Manage LUN masking lists for each Fibre Channel interface port.
The LUN masking lists can be used to grant universal access or limit
access to specific world wide port names.
- Set the IP address.
For remote management, the RamSan-220 is shipped with a Java-enabled
remote monitoring software. The software allows users to:
- Monitor system
performance. The panel allows users to monitor real-time system
performance of the following components:
- Fibre Channel
interfaces. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows users to see real-time bandwidth
and I/Os per second performance.
- Power Supply
temperature.
- Fan status.
The software displays the number of revolutions per minute
for the fans.
- Battery
status. The software displays the current charge level for
the battery.
- Observe SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) traps and alerts
