Storage Explorer

August 27th, 2014 No comments

Hello folks

Today I found one really nice utility at Windows Server 2008 R2 and up. It’s called Storage Explorer. It’s MMC snap-in which enables you to see what your fiber optic cards (HBAs) on fiber optic fabrics.

You can see information about your HBAs:

This utility somehow connected into fibre optic switch and listed its ports and WWNs connected to it:

And also found some information about optical switch (for example management IP address):

I know this tool is not as powerfull as Brocade SANHealth, but it’s bettern than nothing 🙂

That’s all folks for today,
