HP EFC Server and Remote Workstation Configuration
The HP EFC server is a laptop or desktop personal computer (PC) platform that provides a
central point of control for managed Fibre Channel products. The HP EFC server is
required for installing, configuring, and managing these products.
Note Although products can perform normal operations without an HP EFC server,
the HP EFC server should operate at all times to monitor product operations,
report failures, log event changes and log configuration changes.
