Page 18: Director Description
Overview Director Description The director is a second-generation, 64-port product that provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a SAN environment. Directors are managed and controlled through an High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) appliance with HAFM and Director 2/64 Element Manager installed.
Page 19: Director Management
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.
Page 20: Error-Detection, Reporting, And Serviceability
Overview 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:...

Note: For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches to the Director 2/64 Installation Guide...
Page 22: Zoning
Overview Zoning The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other. Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports (F_Ports).
Page 23 Overview Domain ID assignment—Each director in a fabric is identified by a unique domain ID that ranges from 1 through 31. A domain ID of 0 is invalid. If two operational fabrics join, they determine if any domain ID conflicts exist between the fabrics.
Page 24: Hardware Components
Overview — Build fabric protocol error—A protocol error is detected during the process of forming the fabric. — No principal switch—No director in the fabric is capable of becoming the principal switch. — No response from attached switch—After a fabric is created, each director in the fabric periodically verifies operation of all attached switches and directors.

Cable management assembly UPM cards Front bezel Power supplies CTP2 cards Provided in rack-mount kits HP 9000, HP 10000, and HP 11000 Series only. Figure 1: Director components—front CTP2 Card The Director 2/64 ships with two Control Processor (CTP2) cards. The active CTP2 card initializes and configures the director after power on, and contains the microprocessor and associated logic that coordinate director operation.
Page 26: Front Bezel
The assembly rotates up to provide front access to the redundant power supplies. The cable management assembly is supplied with rack-mount kits for the HP 9000, HP 10000, and HP 11000 Series racks only Power Supplies The Director 2/64 uses redundant, load-sharing power supplies which step down and rectify facility input power to provide 48-VDC power to Director FRUs.
Page 27: Upm Card
Overview The power supplies are input rated at 85 to 264 VAC. The faceplate of each power supply provides the following status LEDs: A green PWR OK LED turns O if the power supply is operational and receiving AC power. An amber FAULT LED turns O if the power supply fails.
Page 28: Upm Card Leds And Connectors
Overview Card LED Port LEDs Port Connectors (G_Ports) SHR-2 Figure 2: UPM card LEDs and connectors Single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cables attach to UPM cards through small form factor pluggable (SFP) optic transceivers. The fiber-optic transceivers provide duplex connectors, and can be detached from UPM cards (through a 10-pin interface) for easy replacement.
Page 29: Rear View
Overview Extended reach long-wave Laser—Long-wave laser transceivers that provide connections for transferring data over extended long distances (up to 35 kilometers) through 9-µm single-mode fiber. Rear View Figure 3 shows the components accessible from the rear of the Director2/64. SHR-2309 Power module assembly Fan modules SBAR assemblies...
Page 30: Sbar Assembly
Overview SBAR Assembly The director ships with two SBAR assemblies. The active SBAR is responsible for Fibre Channel frame transmission from any director port to any other director port. Connections are established without software intervention. The assembly accepts a connection request from a port, determines if a connection can be established, and establishes the connection if the destination port is available.
Page 31: Tools And Test Equipment
Do not use an Allen wrench or torque tool designed for use with another HP product. Use of the wrong tool may overtighten and damage logic cards.
Page 32: Loopback Plug
Overview Loopback plug—An SFP multi-mode (shortwave laser) or single-mode (longwave laser) loopback plug, as shown in Figure 5, is required to perform port loopback diagnostic tests. One loopback plug is shipped with the director, depending on the type of port transceivers installed. Both plugs are shipped if shortwave laser and longwave laser transceivers are installed.
Page 33: Tools Supplied By Service Personnel
Overview Figure 7: Null modem cable Tools Supplied by Service Personnel The following tools are expected to be supplied by service personnel performing director installation or maintenance actions. Use of the tools may be required to perform one or more test, service, or verification tasks.
