Product Manager Description - HP StorageWorks 2/140 - Director Switch Product Manager Manual

Product Manager Overview

Product Manager Description

The Product Manager for the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 has a
Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management,
configuration, and monitoring functions for individual directors and their
field-replaceable units (FRUs).
In contrast to the Product Manager, the HAFM enables administrators to monitor
operational status for all products and Fibre Channel fabrics managed by a HAFM
server. The HAFM application also provides tools to administer user and product
access to the HAFM application and Product Manager.
The Product Manager provides graphical views of director hardware components and
displays of component status. By positioning the cursor on icons, graphics, panels,
and other visual elements in these views and clicking the left or right mouse button,
you can quickly manage and monitor the director on your network.
Using the Product Manager, you can:
• Back up and restore configuration data.
• Clear the system error indicator.
• Configure extended distance buffering for ports.
• Configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the director such as BB_Credit,
R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, preferred domain ID, insistent domain ID, domain
RSCNs, switch priority, director speed (Director 2/64 only), and rerouting delay.
• Configure individual ports with a port name describing the node attached to the
port.
• Configure LIN alerts.
• Configure interoperability mode for multiswitch fabrics.
• Configure a nickname to display instead of WWN for the director and for attached
node devices.
• Configure port binding.
• Configure port address configurations (S/390 mode only).
• Configure the FICON and Open Systems Management Server features if installed.
• Configure Switch Binding if optional SANtegrity feature is installed.
• Configure the operating mode between open systems and S/390 functions.
