1–4 director 2/64 service manual
General Information
(service required) LED on the FRU flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, the
system error indicator on the front bezel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port,
FRU, or director operation.
• Data collection through the Product Manager application to help isolate system
problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and
engineering logs.
• Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate Fibre Channel data paths to
ensure continued director availability in case of failover. The HAFM application
queries the status of each backup FRU daily. A backup FRU failure is indicated by
an illuminated amber LED.
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) using the Fibre Alliance
management information base (MIB) that runs on the HAFM server. Up to 12
authorized management workstations can be configured through the HAFM
application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages
indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.
• SNMP using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 2.2), transmission
control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC 1213), or a
product-specific MIB that runs on each director. Up to six authorized management
workstations can be configured through the Product Manager application to
receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational
state changes and failure conditions.
Zoning Feature
The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices
into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and
communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in
separate zones cannot communicate with each other.
Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information
associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone
member is specified by the director port number to which a device is attached, or by
the 8-byte (16-digit) world-wide name (WWN) assigned to the host bus adapter
(HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device can belong to
multiple zones.
