Enabling and disabling Switch Network Management

Enabling the SNM software

To use and manage any 4 GB switch networks or adapters connected to your system and to enable switch clustering, you must make the Switch Network Manager software available after it has been installed. This also allows you to perform other switch management tasks.

To make the Switch Network Manager available:

  1. In the navigation area, select Switch Management>Switch Network Manager.

  2. In the Switch Network Management Overview pane, select Enable SNM Software.

  3. From the Hardware Management Console View menu, select Reload.

Disabling the SNM software

If you are no longer using the 4 GB switch networks or adapters connected to your system, you can make the Switch Network Manager software unavailable, which also makes switch clustering unavailable.

To make the Switch Network Manager unavailable:

  1. In the navigation area, select Switch Management>Switch Network Manager.

  2. In the Switch Network Management Overview pane, select Disable SNM Software.

  3. From the Hardware Management Console View menu, select Reload.
