Page 20: Hafm Application
NOTE: Although products can perform normal operations without an HAFM appliance, the HAFM appliance should operate at all times to monitor product operations, report failures, log event changes, and log configuration changes. HAFM application The application is composed of two parts: the appliance (which runs only on the HAFM appliance) and the client.
Page 21: Remote Access To The Public Lan
There are a two ways to ensure the pubic and private designations of the LANs. • Assign the private LAN IP address, 10.x.x.x, to the LAN you want designated as the private LAN. You must also have the public LAN connection active when the HAFM appliance is booting up.

Page 125: 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.

Zoning parameter Maximum value Number of zone sets in HAFM zoning library Number of end ports 1024 Number of devices supported 1024 (including loop devices) 1. The supported number of zones is based on a zone name with a maximum of 32 characters.
