Director Management
The director is managed and controlled through:
•The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the HAFM
server and provides a single point of management for all directors, and a
launching point for the Director 2/64 Product Manager application.
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented
through the HAFM application that allows administrators on SNMP management
workstations to access director management information using any standard
network management tool. Administrators can assign internet protocol (IP)
addresses and corresponding community names for up to 12 SNMP workstations
functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. Refer to the hp StorageWorks
SNMP reference guide for directors and edge switches.
• The Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on the
director. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic
operation of the director, but does not offer all the capabilities of the Director 2/64
Product Manager application. Administrators launch the EWS interface from a
remote PC by entering the director’s IP address as the internet URL, then entering
a user name and password at a login screen. The PC browser then becomes a
management console.
NOTE: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is “operator.”
The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or
perform other options is “administrator.” The default password for both user names is
“password.”
• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many HAFM
and Product Manager functions while entering commands during a telnet session
with the director. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a
large number of directors using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no
