LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide

Chapter 3: SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

SDM-GUI Accounts

This chapter explains how to use the SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface 
(SDM-GUI) application to configure and monitor storage configurations with the 
LSISAS6160 SAS switch. The SDM-GUI utility is a Java Web Start application, and the 
LSISAS6160 SAS switch functions as an HTTP server that launches it. You can run the 
SDM-GUI utility from a browser by pointing the browser to the switch’s IP address.

SDM-GUI has an easy-to-use graphical interface that enables you to manage the host 
switch, and other switches or expanders within the domain in which the host switch 
resides. You can use the interface to view domain information, create and modify 
aliases, and manage zone groups and zone sets.

You can run SDM from a user account or from an admin account.

„

The user account allows you to view the domain topology, configuration, and 
operating environment. The default password is user.

„

The admin account allows you to view the same information as the user account. In 
addition, it allows you to change the configuration of the domain and of the 
managed devices within the domain. The default password is admin.

„

The SAS6160 switch’s zone manager password is handled separately. Its default 
password is lynx.

Follow these steps to start SDM-GUI:

1. Open a web browser and point it to the switch’s IP address or host name. 

Java Web Start downloads and launches the SDM-GUI automatically.

The Password window appears.

2. Enter your user name and password.

3. Click Login.

The main window and Summary tab appear.
