64 Service Manual (AA-RS2ED-TE, July 2004)

General Information

24 Director 2/64 Service Manual

Software Diagnostic Features

The director provides the following diagnostic software features that aid in fault

isolation and repair of problems:

■ On-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously report FRU

status to the HAFM application and the Element Manager. The HAFM and

Element Manager provide system alerts and logs that display failure and

diagnostic information at the HAFM appliance or a remote workstation

communicating with the HAFM appliance.

■ The HAFM application that runs as a Windows® 2000 service and provides

an additional user interface to display director operational status.

■ The Embedded Web Server interface that provides Internet access to isolate

problems for a single director.

■ Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate operational state changes or

failures can be transmitted to as many as 12 authorized management

workstations.

■ E-mail messages or call-home reports that provide automatic notification of

significant system events to designated support personnel or administrators.

HAFM and Element Manager Diagnostics

Note: HAFM and Element Manager screens in this manual may not match the screens

on your server and workstation. The title bars have been removed, and the fields may

contain data that does not match the data seen on your system.

The HAFM application and the Element Manager provide a Java-based GUI to

manage, monitor, and isolate problems for multiple directors and multi-switch

fabrics.

The HAFM application opens automatically when the HAFM appliance is

powered on, and the default display is the View All - HAFM 8. Managed products

(including directors) display as icons at the top of the window.
