EFC Management Applications Installation

Install the EFCM software on the OmniBook PC by performing the following steps:

installation program named d:\hpServerInstall.exe.
2. The installer program will guide you through the installation process

Iomega QuikSync

Included in the EFC Management Applications installation is the Iomega QuikSync application,
which is used to automatically backup all EFCM data to a Zip drive. This application is installed
and configured automatically, so no additional configuration is necessary. When the entire EFC
Server configuration procedure is complete, you must power off the PC and replace the internal
CD-ROM drive with an internal Zip drive for proper to allow the QuikSync application to
function properly.

EFCM Operation

Once Windows 2000, EFCM, and the Web and FTP servers have been installed and properly
configured, you remove the internal CD-ROM drive from the HP OmniBook 6000 PC and
replace it with the internal Zip drive. Do this while the PC is powered-off.
Since the EFCM server application is installed as a Windows 2000 service, operation
automatically begins after a power-on or restart of the HP OmniBook PC. This is an important
aspect of the EFCM server application, because it continuously monitors status of the Fibre
Channel switches, directors, and fabrics, and alerts users via SNMP or e-mail if important system
events occur, regardless of whether or not a user is logged-in to Windows 2000.
Once the EFCM software has been installed and configured, and you reboot the PC, the EFC
Management Services application automatically starts. When you login to Windows 2000, you
will see two windows displayed: the EFC Management Services window, and the EFC Manager
Login window. Each of these windows is described in section 7.1 and section 7.2 respectively.
You control the EFCM Server using the Windows Service Control Manager in the Administrative
Tools folder under Windows Control Panel. Since the application is installed as a Windows 2000
service, it automatically starts whenever the server PC is booted. Ordinarily, you should not need
to stop the service or change its startup parameters, but if you do, it should be done from the
Service Control Manager as described in section 7.3 below.

EFC Management Services Window

An example of the EFC Management Services window is displayed below. Its purpose is to
display operational status of the EFCM server. There are three potential statuses that are
represented by a graphical icon both in the window title bar and on the bottom status line of the
window.
Green Circle – Fully operational
Yellow Triangle – An internal problem has been detected, however operations continue.
Red Diamond – A fatal problem has been detected and operations have ceased.
