Deployment & Management Features

• Emulex’s feature-rich deployment and management facilities streamline and simplify HBA deployment and device management, helping to reduce administration costs and protect IT investments.
• Emulex HBAnyware management application enables secure, centralized discovery, monitoring, reporting, and administration of Emulex host bus adapters (HBAs) and converged network adapters (CNAs) on local and remote hosts. Powerful automation capabilities facilitate remote driver parameter, firmware and boot code upgrades. Advanced diagnostic features and HBA statistics help to optimize management and network performance. In addition to the GUI interface, management functions can also be performed via a scriptable Command Line Interface (CLI) as well as a web browser. With in-band and out-of-band management capabilities, Emulex provides data center administrators with the greatest level of management flexibility.
• Automated installation and configuration of driver and management tools simplifies deployment of multiple HBAs for Windows environments. A single installation of drivers and management utilities eliminates multiple reboots and ensures that each component is installed correctly and the HBA is ready to use.
• Emulex’s management instrumentation complies to Open Management Standards, such as SMI-S and common HBA API support, which enables seamless upward integration into enterprise storage and server management solutions.

Additional Features

• Emulex LightPulse HBA technology features Frame-level Multiplexing and out-of-order frame reassembly for maximum link utilization. End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC, ECC and other advanced error checking and correcting algorithms ensure data is safe from corruption.
• Detailed real-time event logging and tracing enables quick diagnosis of SAN problems.
• Boot from SAN capability reduces system management costs and maximize network uptime.
• BlockGuard ready: ensures end-to-end data integrity
