Error-Detection, Reporting, And Serviceability - HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 Installation Manual

• The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the HAFM appliance and
provides a single point of management for all directors, and a launching point for the Director
2/140 Element Manager.
• 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 director. This
interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the director, but
does not offer all the capabilities of the Director 2/140 Element Manager. Administrators
launch the EWS interface from a remote PC by entering the director's IP address as the internet
URL, then entering a user name and password at a login screen. The PC browser then becomes
a management console.
NOTE: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is operator. The
default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or perform
other options is Administrator. The default password for both user names is password.
• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many HAFM and Element
Manager functions while entering commands during a telnet session with the director. The
primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of directors using
scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking is done for pre-existing conditions
and no prompts display to guide users through tasks. Refer to the HP StorageWorks CLI
reference guide for directors and edge switches for more information.
• A customer-supplied PC or UNIX-based platform with the HAFM appliance and client HAFM
and Director Element Manager installed.
• A customer-supplied remote workstation communicating with the HAFM appliance through a
corporate intranet.
• A customer-supplied PC platform with a network connection to the EWS interface installed on the
director.
• A customer-supplied server platform communicating with the switch through a LAN or corporate
intranet. The HAFM applications are ordered and installed on the server by the customer.

Error-detection, reporting, and serviceability

The director provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features:
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on director FRUs and the front bezel that provide visual indicators of
hardware status or malfunctions.
• System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, threshold alert logs, and
hardware logs that display director, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the HAFM
appliance, remote workstation, or EWS.
