Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager
The Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager helps
you manage your resources by providing network resource discovery and management
capabilities. Multiple Device Manager SAN Volume Controller supports
SAN fabric entities that the Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager discovers.
Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager has a manager and one or more managed
hosts:
- The manager does the following:
- Gathers data from agents on managed hosts, such as descriptions of storage
area networks (SANs), logical unit numbers (LUNs), and file systems and host
information.
- Provides graphical displays of SAN topology.
- Generates Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) events when a change
is detected in the SAN fabric.
- Forwards events to the Tivoli Enterprise Console or an SNMP console.
- An agent resides on each managed host. The agents on the managed hosts
do the following:
- Gather information about the SAN by querying switches and devices for
attribute and topology information.
- Gather host-level information, such as file systems and mapping to logical
units (LUNs).
- Gather event information and other information detected by host bus adapters
(HBAs).
