Information About Device Manager

</h1>
<a name="wp254531"> </a><p class="pBody">
Device Manager provides a graphic representation of a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch chassis or Cisco 
Nexus 5000 Series switch chassis, or a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch chassis including the installed 
switching modules, the supervisor modules, the status of each port within each module, the power 
supplies, and the fan assemblies.

</p>
<a name="wp260611"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Device Manager support for Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches is only for FCoE. Non-FCoE modules 
appear as Unsupported Card.

</p>
<a name="wp253876"> </a><p class="pBody">
The tables in the DCNM-SAN Information pane basically correspond to the dialog boxes that appear in 
Device Manager. However, while DCNM-SAN tables show values for one or more switches, a Device 
Manager dialog box shows values for a single switch. Also, Device Manager provides more detailed 
information for verifying or troubleshooting device-specific configuration than DCNM-SAN.

</p>
<a name="wp253877"> </a><p class="pBody">
Device Manager Release 4.2 and later provides enhanced security using multiple perspectives (simple 
and advanced) allowing role based-access to its features. The Device Manager perspective filters out 
menu items that are not relevant to the user. Users with server admin role, can only access a subset of 
the fabric related features. The server admin role will not be able to manage Device Manager users or 
connected clients. 

</p>
<a name="wp256691"> </a><p class="pBody">
Device Manager Release 5.0 and later supports all the software features that are offered by Cisco NX-OS 
for managing Cisco MDS 9148 and 9124 Multilayer Fabric switches. Cisco MDS 9148 Multilayer Fabric 
Switch is a 48-port (1/2/4/8G) FC 1RU switch based on the Sabre ASIC andCisco MDS 9124 Multilayer 
Fabric switch is a 1/2/4/8G switch module for HP BladeServer based on the Sabre ASIC. Device 
Manager and DCNM-SAN allow you to discover, display, configure, monitor and service both these new 
switches. Device Manager also supports the following Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders on a 
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch that runs Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(1):

Device Manager allows you to discover and display these Fabric Extenders. Cisco Device Manager and 
the Cisco DCNM-SAN client support provisioning and monitoring of the 48-port 8-Gbps Advanced 
Fibre Channel switching module (DS-X9248-256K9) and the 32-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel 
switching module (DS-X9232-256K9).
