Introduction to HP Fibre Channel Products
21SAN High Availability Planning Guide
Managed products and the HAFM appliance communicate on a local area network
(LAN) through one or more HP-supplied 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hubs. Hubs are
daisy-chained as required to provide additional Ethernet connections as more
directors or switches are installed on a customer network.
Refer to “Product Management” on page 39 for information about managing
products through the HAFM appliance. “Product Management” on page 39 also
describes switch management through simple network management protocol
(SNMP) workstations, through the Internet using an Embedded Web Server
(EWS) interface installed on the product, and through inband (Fibre Channel)
application clients.
Directors and switches can be configured to order in an HP-supplied 19-inch
equipment rack.
