Getting Started with SANnav Management Portal
SANnav Overview
SANnav is the next generation SAN management application suite for Brocade SAN environments.
SANnav allows you to efficiently manage your SAN infrastructure through various easy-to-use functions. SANnav
implements a highly scalable client-server architecture for SAN management. With a modern browser-based UI, SANnav
eliminates the need for a Java-based thick client. The user interface of SANnav is designed based on real-world use
cases and user workflows, providing a highly intuitive user experience. SANnav uses a micro-services-based architecture
based on Docker container technology that allows it to scale to meet the management needs of both small and large
SAN environments and those that may change over time. This scalable architecture also allows SANnav to support new
functionality in the future without causing degradation to the performance of the application.
To address the management needs of very large-scale SAN environments or those that are distributed by function or
location, SANnav supports a hierarchical management model, where a higher-level “global” application, SANnav Global
View, provides comprehensive visibility, summarization, and seamless navigation across multiple instances of the SANnav
Management Portal application.
There are two distinct SANnav product offerings:
•
SANnav Management Portal
•
SANnav Global View
SANnav Management Portal
SANnav Management Portal allows management of one or more SAN fabrics that are in the same or different
geographical locations, and it supports managing a maximum of 15,000 physical SAN ports. For environments that are
larger than 15,000 ports, you can deploy multiple SANnav Management Portal instances, which in turn can be managed
by SANnav Global View.
Use SANnav Management Portal to monitor and manage fabrics, switches, switch ports, and other elements of your
SAN. Dashboards provide summary status and performance information, from which you can drill down to get detailed
views. Using filters and tags, you can sort and search your inventory to find exactly the information that you want. A highly
flexible reporting infrastructure allows you to generate custom graphical or tabular reports.
SANnav Management Portal does not replace Brocade Web Tools or the Fabric OS command line interface.
SANnav Global View
You can get a comprehensive view of a SAN environment that spans multiple SANnav Management Portal instances
through the SANnav Global View product. SANnav Global View allows you to navigate seamlessly across multiple
SANnav Management Portal instances and drill down to any individual instance to perform detailed monitoring,
investigation, and troubleshooting.
Refer to the Brocade SANnav Global View User Guide for detailed information.
Browser Requirements
Any laptop or machine that launches web applications can be used to launch SANnav Management Portal. For optimal
performance, have at least 16 GB of memory.
The following browsers can be used to access the SANnav server:

Launching SANnav Management Portal
Launch SANnav Management Portal to monitor and manage your fabrics.
1. Open your browser and enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SANnav Management
Portal server.
You can use HTTP or HTTPS, for example:
http://192.0.2.0
or
https://192.0.2.0
The SANnav Management Portal login window appears.
If the login window does not appear, try the following:
•
Ping the SANnav server to ensure that it is up.
•
Check if SANnav services are running. See Checking the Server Health.
•
Check the firewall settings. Note that http does not work if redirection on port 80 is not enabled during installation.
Refer to the Brocade SANnav Management Portal Installation and Migration Guide for more details.
2. Enter your SANnav user name and password, and click Login.
For the first SANnav login, the default user name is Administrator and the default password is password.
SANnav launches with the default dashboard displayed.
If, instead of launching, SANnav displays the message "Login Failed. Service is not available at this time.", SANnav is
in the process of starting up. Wait a few minutes and try to log in again.
The first time you log in, you should change the default password. See Changing Your Password.

Detail Pages
Clicking a fabric name, switch name, or port name in a table opens a detail page for that object. The detail page displays
additional information about the object and may contain additional actions that you can perform.
The detail page is different depending on the context. For example, the detail page for a fabric on the Inventory page is
different from the detail page for the same fabric on the Discovery page.
