Director Description

The director is a second-generation, 64-port product that provides dynamic

switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a SAN

environment. Directors are managed and controlled through a HAFM server with

the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) and Director 2/64 Product

Manager applications installed. The HAFM server is a notebook personal

computer (PC) that provides a central point of control for up to 48 directors and/or

edge switches.

Multiple directors and the HAFM server communicate through the customer’s

local area network (LAN).
