Page 22: Hafm Appliance
HAFM appliance The HAFM appliance provides a central point of control for managed Fibre Channel products. The HAFM appliance is required for installing, configuring, and managing these products. See the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager installation guide for details about the HAFM appliance.
Page 23: Public And Private Lan Designations
Public and private LAN designations In a dual LAN configuration, both LANs must be connected when the HAFM appliance boots. If only one is connected, the HAFM appliance interprets this as a single LAN configuration, and the connected LAN is designated as the public LAN. The HAFM application designates the public LAN as the first LAN detected whose IP address is not the reserved private subnet 10.x.x.x.
Page 24: San Life Cycle
• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent implemented through the HAFM application. Administrators on SNMP management workstations can access product management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign IP addresses and corresponding community names for up to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.

Discovering a SAN The application discovers products, fabrics, and connections in a SAN. Through discovery, you can manage and monitor your SAN in real time, ensuring that any issues are resolved immediately. This section provides instructions for configuring the discovery feature. Understanding how discovery works Discovery is the process by which the application contacts the devices in the SAN.
Page 83: Troubleshooting Discovery
NOTE: To discover all SAN products, you must specify each product’s IP address in the Discover Setup dialog box (Out-of-Band tab). If you do not configure the application to discover the devices directly, the connections and attached devices may not be correct on the window. Select IP addresses from the Available Addresses list and add them to the Selected Individual Addresses list by clicking the right arrow ( ) button.

Page 86: Configuring Ip Addresses And Community Strings
• These two values are controlled by two VMParameters residing in the bin\HAFMService.ini file when the application is running as a Windows service: smp.snmp.timeout and smp.snmp.retries. For example, specifying “-Dsmp.snmp.timeout=5” and “-Dsmp.snmp.retries=1” instructs the server to use five seconds as the SNMP timeout and one retry as the retry count. NOTE: The higher the values, the longer discovery will spend waiting for a SNMP response.

Page 133: Port Fencing
Port Fencing Port Fencing is a policy-based feature that allows the user to set thresholds on port events. If the port generates more events in a user-specified time period than you think is acceptable, Port Fencing blocks the port, disabling transmit and receive traffic until you have a chance to investigate, solve the problem, and manually unblock the port.

Page 157: Zoning
Zoning Zoning defines the communication paths in a fabric. A zone consists of initiator and target ports in the SAN. Ports can communicate only with other ports in their zone. However, ports can be members of more than one zone. To zone devices in a fabric, the fabric’s principal switch must be an HP switch and HAFM must discover and manage it.
