Introduction to High Availability Fabric Management
The High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is a Java-based graphical user
interface (GUI) that enables the user to manage users and products, monitor
products, and open Product Managers.
Note: Although the HAFM and Product Managers are separate applications, the
Product Managers are only accessible through the HAFM.
The HAFM and Product Managers are installed on the HAFM server to provide
local access to managed products. These applications can also be installed on
remote user workstations to provide remote access to the managed products
through the HAFM server. A maximum of eight concurrent remote users (in
addition to the local HAFM server user) can log in to the HAFM application.
If dual Ethernet adapters are to be used on the HAFM server, remote workstations
must use the adapter connected to the customer's intranet, and this must be adapter
number 1 (the primary adapter) in the HAFM server. Directors and switches must
communicate with the HAFM server on a private network using adapter number 2
(the secondary adapter). Remote workstations are not supported on the secondary
adapter, and must always connect to the primary adapter (Figure 1 on page 26).
For details on configuring remote workstations, refer to the appendix in this guide
that covers your workstation’s operating system.
