director 2/64 installation guide 1–3
Overview
checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users
through tasks. Refer to the hp StorageWorks CLI reference guide for directors and
edge switches.
• A customer-supplied remote workstation communicating with the HAFM server
through a corporate intranet.
• A customer-supplied PC platform with a network connection to the EWS interface
installed on the director.
• A customer-supplied server platform communicating with the switch through a
LAN or corporate intranet. The HAFM applications are ordered and installed on
the server by the customer.
Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability
The director provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability
features:
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on director FRUs and the front bezel that provide
visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
• System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, threshold
alert logs, and hardware logs that display director, Ethernet link, and Fibre
Channel link status at the HAFM server or remote workstation.
• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port
diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC) wrap
tests). The FC wrap test applies only when the director is configured to operate in
S/390 mode.
• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or
administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM
server.
• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the director (port access is password
protected) that enables installation or service personnel to change the director’s
internet protocol (IP) address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
• Redundant FRUs—logic cards, power supplies, and cooling fans—that are
removed or replaced without disrupting director or Fibre Channel link operation.
• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without
tools or equipment.
• Concurrent port maintenance—UPM cards are added or replaced and fiber-optic
cables are attached to ports without interrupting other ports or director operation.
