Out-of-Band SAN Management
Out-of-Band (OOB) remote SAN management is achieved by sending the remote management requests
over a LAN using the Ethernet TCP/IP protocol to remote hosts.
In-band management is achieved by sending the remote management requests over a SAN to remote
hosts.
The principle differences between in-band and out-of-band SAN Management are:
• A management host with an HBA installed does not need to connect to a fabric to manage other
hosts.
• An OOB management host can manage all of the HBAs in a remote host, not just the ones
connected to the same fabric. In-band can only manage HBAs connected to the same fabric.
• You can manage many more hosts since OOB is not constrained by the boundaries of a fabric or
zoning.
• True board status (e.g. link down) is available since the in-band path is not necessary to send a
status request to the remote host.
• HBA security in an OOB environment is much more important since many more hosts are
available for management and OOB access is not affected by fabrics or zoning.
• Discovery of hosts in an OOB environment is much more difficult than in-band discovery.
