Introduction - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Installation Manual

This document describes the setup and configuration requirements for the HP
notebook PC to function as an HAFM server. This is to be used as a guide for
configuring the PC, installing the software, installing the sliding shelf into a cabinet,
and basic operation of the HAFM server application.

Introduction

The High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) server is a notebook PC with the
HAFM application installed. The applications provide a graphical user interface
(GUI) for operating and managing HP HA-Fabric Directors and Edge Switches.
NOTE: The HAFM server and related applications provide a GUI to monitor and manage
HP products. The HAFM server is a dedicated hardware and software solution that should not
be used for other tasks. HP tests the HAFM application installed on the HAFM server, but does
not test for compatibility with other, third-party software. Modifications to the HAFM server
hardware or installation of additional software (including patches or service packs) may interfere
with normal operation.
