• When migrating data from a notebook server to an HAFM appliance that is running HAFM 8.x, you can migrate data from the notebook server as a mapped (shared) drive. Both the notebook server and HAFM appliance must be on the same physical network. This restriction may require additional hardware, such as a hub or switch, if an unused Ethernet port is not available. • Exit all HAFM software running on the HAFM appliance and remote systems before upgrading. HAFM services must be stopped on the appliance.
Before upgrading Before beginning the upgrade procedure, complete the following tasks: • Read ”Upgrade considerations” on page 11. • Make sure that you obtain the serial number (on the software CD jewel case) and your license key for your installation. See ”Product license and feature keys” on page 21 for more information.

Logs HAFM audit, event, session, product status, and fabric log files are migrated to the same logs in HAFM 8.x. As a safeguard, you should export and archive these logs before migrating to HAFM 8.x. Product Manager audit, event, hardware, link incident, and threshold alerts are migrated. Nicknames Nicknames configured through the Configure Nicknames dialog box in HAFM are migrated. Sessions configuration Information from the Configure Sessions dialog box is migrated.
• If the Administrator user's password was changed in the previous version of HAFM, the password is not migrated. Instead, it reverts to the default password of password. Post-upgrade configuration tasks After upgrading to HAFM 8.x, you should perform the tasks in the following sections: General HAFM configuration • User configuration—Perform the tasks in “Configuring an HAFM Appliance” and “Managing Users” in the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager user guide.
Reverting to HAFM 8.x Following are instructions for reverting back from HAFM 8.8 to HAFM 8.x on the HAFM appliance. 1. Remove HAFM 8.8 using the following steps: a. Click Start > Programs > HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager 8.8 > Uninstall HAFM 8.8. b. Follow the uninstall directions. 2. Start processes from HAFM 8.x Install home by running Install_Callhome_Service.bat, Install_Backup_Service.bat, install_service.bat, and BackupService.exe files from the \install home\bin directory. 3.
License keys The use of license keys is new for HAFM 8.x. You must enter a license key provided with your software and a software serial number the first time that you initialize HAFM 8.x if you are: • Upgrading an HAFM appliance from HAFM 7.2 to HAFM 8.x. • Replacing a notebook server running HAFM 7.x or 6.x with an HAFM appliance running HAFM 8.x. An updated license key is supplied for optional software modules that you purchase for the HAFM 8.x application on an HAFM appliance.
• You reset the default settings through the Element Manager’s Reset Configuration option. • You re-enter a feature key created before firmware 6.0 release and the Element Manager key is deleted. • Enabling the Reset Configuration option through the Element Manager Maintenance menu clears all features that were enabled through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. When you attempt to re-install features using a feature key assigned for version firmware 5.

A Configuring HAFM through a firewall This appendix provides optional procedures for configuring HAFM client and server applications to function across remote networks through a firewall. This chapter includes: • Polling client function, page 31 • Configuring TCP port numbers to allow firewall access, page 33 Polling client function In some cases, a network may use virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can prohibit communication between servers and clients.
NOTE: The following example illustrates the HAFM_c.bat file. The portion of this file starting with rem HAFM Client is also included in the HAFM_sc.bat file. Both files must be modified if they are installed on your computer. setlocal pushd %~dp0\.. call bin\set_cp.bat rem HAFM Client start %JAVA_HOME%\bin\HAFMClient.exe -Xmx256m -Xminf.15 -Xmaxf.35 -classpath %CLASSPATH%-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsmp.fabricPersistenceEnabled=true -Dsmp.Mp.max=256 -Dsmp.deployment.prefix=Client/ -Dsmp.callback.
-Dsmp.webServer -Dsmp.callback.passive -Dsmp.flavor=%APP_FLAVOR% Server ............... :end popd endlocal Configuring TCP port numbers to allow firewall access This section provides details about configuring TCP port numbers for Remote Method Invocation (RMI) servers and registries to allow HAFM client and server applications to function across firewalls. HAFM function with RMI at TCP port level The RMI protocol lies between the HAFM application and the TCP/IP layer.
To work around this problem, administrators can “predict” which ports are used by the client and server and use the following procedures to configure these port numbers into the appropriate batch files.
-Dsmp.zoning.wait.timeout=180000 -Dsmp.webServer -Dsmp.registry.port=XXXX -Dsmp.flavor=%APP_FLAVOR% Server rem HAFM Server Debug Mode rem start %JAVA_HOME%\bin\HAFMServerD.exe -server -Xmx512m -Xminf.15 -Xmaxf.35 -classpath %CLASSPATH% -Dsmp.Mp.max=512 -Dsmp.autodiscovery=false -Dsmp.mpi.test -Dsmp.deployment.prefix=Server/ -Dsmp.zoning=legacy -Dsmp.zoning.wait.timeout=180000 -Dsmp.debug -Dsmp.webServer -Dsmp.registry.port=XXXX -Dsmp.
NOTE: If the firewall prevents the server from connecting to arbitrary ports on the client, force only the export port of the client (-Dsmp.client.export.port=XXXX). The HAFM_c.bat file starts both the client and server and is installed on computers with the HAFM appliance software. The file is typically located in c:\Program Files\HAFM 8.x\bin. Both the client and server areas of the HAFM_sc.bat file must have matching parameters. Add a matching parameter to the HAFM_c.
HAFM_c.bat file The following example shows an HAFM_c.bat file. setlocal pushd %~dp0\.. call bin\set_cp.bat ............... rem HAFM Client start %JAVA_HOME%\bin\HAFMClient.exe -Xmx256m -Xminf.15 -Xmaxf.35 -classpath %CLASSPATH% -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsmp.fabricPersistenceEnabled=true -Dsmp.Mp.max=256 -Dsmp.deployment.prefix=Client/-Dsmp.flavor=%APP_FLAVOR% Client rem HAFM Client Debug Mode rem start %JAVA_HOME%\bin\HAFMClientD.exe -Xmx256m -Xminf.15 -Xmaxf.35 -classpath %CLASSPATH% -Dsun.java2d.
