Running switch management software

You can run Brocade Fibre Channel switch management software from HP P6000 SmartStart.

Considerations

• Use of Brocade Web Tools from HP P6000 SmartStart is intended only to manage Fibre

Channel switches that are embedded in HP EVA4400 storage systems.

• Brocade Web Tools software is for use by experienced users and SAN administrators.

CAUTION: Brocade Web Tools includes advanced commands that can disrupt

communications in your Fibre Channel SAN.

license terms.

3. Click Next on the Important Information window.

The Main Menu window opens.

Supported storage systems

See the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for storage system models and

controller software that are supported by HP P6000 SmartStart.

VMware servers

HP P6000 SmartStart supports VMware servers as follows.

HP P6000 SmartStart DVD for Windows

• Enables you to install server-based HP P6000 Command View on a VMware Windows guest

OS.

• When HP P6000 Command View is installed on a VMware Windows guest OS, you can

configure an application server and provision storage only if VMDirectPath is configured. If

VMDirectPath is not configured, you can install HP P6000 Command View but you cannot

configure an application server.

NOTE: When you configure an FC application server in the VMDirectPath configuration,

the HP MPIO DSM Manager software version is not detected after the initial installation. If

you reconfigure the FC application server, HP P6000 SmartStart attempts to reinstall the HP

MPIO DSM software. Since HP MPIO DSM Manager software is already installed, the

installation may fail. You can ignore the failed installation of the HP MPIO DSM software and

continue with the HP P6000 SmartStart installation.
