The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the
HAFM server and provides a single point of management for all directors, and
a launching point for the Director 2/64 Product Manager application.
Simple network management protocol (SNMP). A SNMP agent is
implemented through the HAFM application that allows administrators on
SNMP management workstations to access director management information
using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign
internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up
to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and
Edge Switches for more information.
The Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on the
