1 Overview This chapter contains the following HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 information: • Director description, page 13 • Features, page 13 • Hardware components, page 17 • Tools and test equipment, page 22 • Optional kits, page 24 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.
• The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the HAFM appliance and provides a single point of management for all directors, and a launching point for the Director 2/64 Element Manager. • Simple network management protocol (SNMP). A 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.
• 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 FICON management style. • An internal modem for use by support personnel to dial in to the HAFM appliance for event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.
Zoning 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).
• Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B unzoned—The fabrics join successfully, and the resulting fabric remains unzoned. • Fabric A zoned and Fabric B unzoned—The fabrics join successfully, and fabric B automatically inherits the zoning configuration from fabric A. • Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B zoned—The fabrics join successfully, and fabric A automatically inherits the zoning configuration from fabric B.

persistent operating parameters, and memory dump files. Director firmware is upgraded concurrently (without disrupting operation). Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that turns ON if the card is operational and active, and an amber LED that turns ON if the card fails. The LEDs are OFF on the backup CTP2. The amber LED FLASHES if beaconing is enabled.
laser transceivers that comply with Section 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Subpart J as of the date of manufacture. Depending on device connections, G_Ports work as follows: • If the G_Port is attached to a Fibre Channel device, the port functions as a fabric port (F_Port). An F_Port is the interface on a director that connects to a device N_Port. • If the G_Port is attached to another director to form an Interswitch Link (ISL), the port functions as an expansion port (E_Port).
• Extended reach long-wave laser—Long-wave laser transceivers that provide connections for transferring data over extended long distances (up to 35 kilometers) through 9-µm single-mode fiber. Rear view Figure 3 shows the components accessible from the rear of the Director 2/64.
The backup SBAR takes over operation if the active assembly fails, and provides the ability to maintain connectivity and data frame transmission without interruption. The transition to the backup assembly is transparent to attached devices. Each SBAR assembly consists of a card and steel carriage that mounts flush on the backplane. The carriage provides protection for the back of the card, distributes cooling airflow, and assists in aligning the assembly during installation.
plug is shipped with the director, depending on the type of port transceivers installed. Both plugs are shipped if short-wave laser and long-wave laser transceivers are installed. Figure 5 Loopback plug • Fiber-optic protective plug—For safety and port transceiver protection, fiber-optic protective plugs (Figure 6), must be inserted in all director ports without fiber-optic cables attached. The director is shipped with protective plugs installed in all ports.
Tools supplied by service personnel The following tools are expected to be supplied by service personnel performing director installation or maintenance actions. Use of the tools may be required to perform one or more test, service, or verification tasks. • Scissors or pocket knife—A sharp cutting edge (scissors or knife blade) may be required to cut the protective strapping when unpacking replacement FRUs.
