This chapter describes the requirements for the Dell PowerVault Switch Manager and
how to launch and use the Switch Manager.

%
To use the Switch Manager, your system must meet the following requirements:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape 4.0 or later with Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 operating systems
Netscape 4.0 or later with Sun Solaris 2.5 or later systems
16-bit or higher color
Java 1.2.2 plug-in
You can install the plug-in from the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Utilities CD or
the Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel Update CD. You can also download the plug-in
from the Sun Microsystems World Wide Web site at http://www.sun.com/.
NOTES: In order to take full advantage of the enhanced switch management capabili-
ties, you cannot launch the Switch Manager from a PowerVault 50F switch.
The only Switch Manager features available on the PowerVault 50F are Fabric View
(without the Name Server Table and Zone Administration), and a single-page
Switch Administration Interface.

To prevent domain name system (DNS) spoofing, the Java class libraries used for the
Switch Manager perform a reverse lookup of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to
resolve to corresponding device names. You must have a name resolution service
with reverse lookup (such as DNS, Windows Internet Naming Service [WINS], or Net-
work Information Service [NIS]) enabled on the Ethernet network that connects the
switches in the managed fabric; the entries should correspond to the switches in the
fabric.
