Introduction and General Information
This chapter presents an overview of the features of the SANworks Director Connectivity
Manager (SANworks DC Manager). It describes how to:
s Access the features of the SANworks DC Manager and Fabric Manager.
s Access product information and session information.
s Access the topology and zoning features of the Fabric Manager.
Introduction to SANworks DC Management
The SANworks DC Manager is a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that enables
the user to manage users and products, monitor products, and open Product Managers.
NOTE: Although the SANworks DC Manager and Product Managers are separate applications,
the Product Managers are only accessible through the SANworks DC Manager.
The SANworks DC Manager, Fabric Manager, and Product Managers are installed on the
SDCM server to provide local access to managed products. These applications can also be
installed on remote user workstations to provide remote access to the managed products.
A maximum of four concurrent remote users (in addition to the local SDCM server user)
can log in to the SANworks DC Manager application.

SDCM Server Information
The SDCM server is a laptop or desktop personal computer (PC) platform that provides a
central point of control for managed Fibre Channel products. The SDCM server is
required for installing, configuring, and managing these products.
NOTE: Although products can perform normal operations without an SDCM server, the SDCM
server should operate at all times to monitor product operations, report failures, log event
changes, and log configuration changes.

product managed by the SANworks DC Manager. For example, if one product has failed,
and nine other products are fully operational, a red diamond with yellow background
displays in the alert panel to indicate the failed product. When all products are operational,
a green circle displays.
Main Panel
This panel displays the view that you choose from the View menu. These views are
described in the next section, Main Panel Views.

nickname (if configured). A fabric can consist of a single managed product or multiple
managed products.
You can access the Fabric Manager through the Fabric View, as described in Fabric
Manager Overview.
Introduction and General Information 1 11
Fabric Manager Overview
The Fabric Manager displays in a separate window from the SANworks DC Manager. The
Fabric Manager enables you to create zones and zone sets and to activate and deactivate
zones.
There are two methods for opening the Fabric Manager:
s Click a fabric icon in the Fabric View (Figure 15).
s Right click a fabric icon in the Fabric View and choose Open.
The Fabric Manager displays with the Topology View open (Figure 16).
Figure 16: Fabric Manager with Topology View
112 SANworks Director Connectivity Manager User Guide
The Fabric Manager's default view is the Topology View. You can change between this
view and the Zoning View (Figure 17) by selecting options on the View menu.
Figure 17: Fabric Manager with Zoning View
The Fabric Manager's menu options differ from the SANworks DC Manager's menu
options. The Fabric Manager menu options are described in Using the Fabric Manager
Navigation Control Panel.
The alert panel operates like the alert panel in the Product View, described in Alert Panel,
and shows the most critical status for any product in the fabric.
The Topology View displays all interswitch connections for all E_Ports in a multiswitch
fabric. Products that are not managed by the SDCM server display without an alert
symbol.
Through the Topology View, you can change the display options for the labels under the
product icons, access the Product Manager for each product, view product properties,
determine the number of interswitch links (ISLs) present between any two managed
products, and display ISL properties.
Refer to Using the Topology View for details on using this view.
Introduction and General Information 1 13
The Zoning View, shown in Figure 17, provides a complete view of the active zone set,
including all zones and zone members.
Fabric zoning is discussed in detail in Chapter 4.
Backing Up and Restoring Data
The backup and restore of critical SANworks DC Manager data on the Windows NT
system is provided by the Iomega QuikSync application, which is installed on the SDCM
server when you install the Iomega Zip drive.
Backup
During installation, QuikSync is automatically configured to mirror the contents of the
SdcmData directory to the attached Zip drive any time the contents of that directory
change or the server is restarted. Therefore, whenever you make a configuration change,
add or remove a managed product, or make any other changes through the SANworks DC
Manager or Fabric Manager, the data in this directory is automatically backed up. The
existing backup file is updated; no separate versions of the backup file are maintained.
NOTE: To ensure trouble-free backups, it is imperative that you leave the Zip drive connected to
the SDCM server and leave a Zip disk in that drive.
When you log into Windows NT on the SDCM server, QuikSync starts automatically. Any
data that has changed in the SdcmData directory while you were logged out will
automatically be backed up.
The backed up data includes:
s All SANworks DC Manager configuration (product definitions, user names, encrypted
passwords, user rights, nicknames, session options, SNMP configuration, e-mail
addresses, etc.).
s Logs, both for the SANworks DC Manager and any Product Managers.
s Zoning library, including all zone sets and zone definitions.
s Firmware library.
s Call-home configuration information.
114 SANworks Director Connectivity Manager User Guide
Since the configuration data for each individual product is stored in NVRAM on the
product itself, there is a separate backup option provided in each Product Manager to save
the product configuration to the SDCM server. If you perform a product configuration
backup through the Product Manager, the configuration data is stored in the SdcmData
directory and automatically mirrored to the QuikSync Zip disk.
The QuikSync application will not back up certain Windows NT configurations that need
to be reconfigured on a newly-restored SDCM server, including:
s Windows NT user names and passwords.
s TCP/IP network configuration (IP address, Gateway address, DNS names, etc.)
You should use other means to back up this type of information.
The QuikSync application is included on the SDCM Management Applications CD, and
automatically installed on the SDCM server during installation. A Zip disk dedicated to
QuikSync is needed for each SDCM server and is included with the SDCM installation
package.
Restore
In the event of a system failure, you will be able to return your database to a known state.
To restore data from the backup disk to the SDCM server:
1. Click the Windows Start button, then click Programs, then Windows NT Explorer.
The Exploring window displays.
2. Copy the SdcmData directory from the Zip disk to the SDCM root directory (typically
c:\SdcmData).
3. Close the Exploring window.
4. Restart the SDCM server:
a. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, then click Shut Down.
b. On the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart the Computer and click Yes.
c. When prompted, simultaneously press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to display the Windows NT
Logon Information dialog box.
d. Type your user name and password and click OK.
5. When the SANworks DC Manager login screen appears, enter your user name and
password. Make sure that localhost is selected in the SDCM server box.
6. Click Login to open the SANworks DC Manager.
