Product Management
The HAFM server also provides hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server
functionality. Use of this protocol with a standard Web server allows the download
of client HAFM and Product Manager applications from the HAFM server to
remote workstations. The server is configured to limit the maximum number of
concurrent connections to eight.

Graphical User Interface

The HAFM server implements the HAFM application, along with director and
switch-specific Product Manager applications, to provide the user interface for
operators to control and monitor HP products. These applications can also operate
on workstations attached to the customer intranet that function as remote clients.

HAFM Application

The HAFM application provides a common Java-based GUI for managed HP
products. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager
User Guide. The application operates locally on the HAFM server or through a
network connection from a remote user workstation. The application operates
independently from the director or switch managed by the HAFM server.
