Hello Patrick,

What does the scanmaster tool do,and what is the difference between sanscan and scanmaster tool.

Thanks/regards,
Aliasgar.

The sanscan tool is a script that reads the fc switch configuration from all switches within a SAN and builds a html output file with all the information.

It's verry handy when going to a customer site and you want to get a quick view of the SAN configuration.

The scanmaster tool is supposed to be the enhanced version, i'm hoping this inculdes the scanning of an Enterprise Virtual Array config.

Aw nuts. I just noticed I haven't updated my browser favorites, but as I recall, the SANscan page now has the ScanMaster kit.

That is probably an internal link for HP engineers? Is there no external link available?

Hi Patrick,

First things first - Scanmaster is sanscan v2.0. It was renamed recently. It is a data collection tool for SAN infrastructure devices and hosts. It is HP proprietary, and you should not be running it without HP permission.

Sincerely,

Curt

Curt is absolutely right. Only HP Engineers and Partner implementation Engineers are allowed to have Scanmaster, and even partners need permission from HP to run it.
