director 2/64 service manual

1–12 director 2/64 service manual
General Information
Ensure the correct director is selected for service (if the HAFM server manages
multiple directors or other HP products) by enabling unit beaconing at the failed
director. The amber system error LED on the director front bezel blinks when
beaconing is enabled. Instructions to enable beaconing are incorporated into MAP
steps.
Remote Workstation Configurations
Using a standard Web browser, the HAFM and Product Manager applications can be
downloaded and installed on remote user workstations that are LAN-attached to the
HAFM server. Operators at these workstations can manage and monitor directors
controlled by the HAFM server. A maximum of nine concurrent users (including a
local user) can log in to the HAFM application.
Each remote workstation must have access to the LAN segment on which the HAFM
server is installed. Director administrative functions are accessed through the LAN
and HAFM server. The LAN interface can be:
• Part of the customer’s public 10/100 Mbps LAN segment that provides access to
managed directors. This director-to-HAFM server Ethernet connection is part of
the equipment rack installation and is required. Connection of remote
workstations through the hub is optional. This type of network configuration using
one Ethernet connection through the HAFM server is shown in Figure 1–3.
This single Ethernet connection is supported by HP, is Open View-Storage Node
Manager (OV-SNM) compatible, and is the recommended configuration for a
typical HP installation at a customer site. LAN security is provided by restricting
password access and disabling the SNMP agent, embedded Web server interface,
and command line interface (telnet access) for each managed director.
