General Information

25Director 2/64 Service Manual

The left panel of this view is the product list, which is an expandable list of the

fabrics, the products in the fabrics, and the nodes connected to the products. The

Physical Map displays graphical fabric elements and ISLs for a multi-switch

fabric. The graphical representation of the fabric emulates the configuration and

operational status of the corresponding real fabric. Note that a single director

without ISLs is still considered a fabric.

Double-click a director icon to open the Element Manager. The Element Manager

provides a Java-based GUI to manage, monitor, and isolate problems for a specific

director. It operates locally on the HAFM appliance, or through an Ethernet LAN

connection from a remote user workstation.

When the Element Manager opens, the default display is the Hardware View. A

Director 2/64 Status table and a graphical representation of the director hardware

(front and rear) display.

■ For a description of the Element Manager, refer to the HP StorageWorks

Director Element Manager User Guide.

■ For a description of the HAFM application, refer to the HP StorageWorks

HA-Fabric Manager User Guide.

HAFM Services Application

The HP StorageWorks HAFM Services application provides a central control point

and server-side functionality (in a client-server environment). The application

runs as a Windows 2000 service and starts automatically when the HAFM

appliance is powered on.

The user interface consists of the HAFM Services window (Figure 3 on page 26),

which provides HAFM application status and diagnostic information. The HAFM

Services window consists of:

■ An event table that displays HAFM application events that occurred since the

HAFM application was started.

■ A status line at the bottom of the panel that provides a status indicator and

message area.
