Product Manager Description - HP Surestore 64 - Director Switch User Manual

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 an
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:
