Configuring the Director Configuring Operating Parameters Use the procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for switch and fabric operation. These operating parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the switch. Configuring Switch Parameters Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for switch operation through the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. 1. Verify that the director is set offline. For instructions, see the “Set Director Online State” bullet on page 74.
Configuring the Director Switch Parameters Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric. Domain ID The domain identification is a value between 1 and 31 that provides a unique identification for the switch in a fabric. A fabric switch cannot contain the same domain ID as another switch or their E_Ports will segment when they try to join.
Configuring the Director ■ This option is required if Enterprise Fabric Mode (optional SANtegrity Binding feature) is enabled. ■ If you enable Insistent Domain while the switch or director is online, the preferred domain ID will change to the current active domain ID if the IDs are different. Caution: If a director with a duplicate domain ID exists in the fabric, both directors' E_Ports will segment when they try to join.
Configuring the Director Note: This option is required if Enterprise Fabric Mode (optional SANtegrity Binding feature) is enabled. Suppress Zoning RSCNs on Zone Set Activations Fabric format domain register for state change notifications (RSCNs) are sent to ports on the switch following any change to the fabric’s active zone set. These changes include activating and deactivating the zone set, or enabling and disabling the default zone.
Configuring the Director ■ Director firmware must support the 2 Gb/s data rate. If you set the speed to 2 Gig and the firmware only supports 1 Gb/s, an error message displays stating that the feature is not supported and providing the firmware level that will support the higher speed.

Using Logs Using Logs The Audit, Event, Hardware, and Link Incident logs store up to 1,000 entries each. The most recent entry displays at the top of the log. After 1,000 entries are stored, new entries overwrite the oldest entries. Button Functions Button function is the same for all logs: ■ Clear—When you click Clear, it clears all entries in the log for all users. A warning dialog box displays requesting confirmation that you want to clear all entries in the log.
Using Logs 1. Click Export on the log window to display the Save dialog box. This dialog box contains the controls shown in Figure 56. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 Details List Create new folder 4 5 6 Home Go up one level Drive list Figure 56: Save dialog box—log windows 2. In the Save dialog box, choose the folder where you want to save the file. 3. Type in a file name and extension in the File name field. 4. Click Save. The file saves to the specified folder as an ASCII text file.
Using Logs Audit Log The Audit Log displays a history of all configuration changes applied to the director from any source such as HAFM, SNMP management stations, or host. Figure 57: Audit Log Some actions, such as backing up configuration data and enabling automatic date/time synchronization, are performed only by the HAFM appliance without director interaction. These actions are indicated when HAFM displays in the Source column, as shown in Figure 57.
Using Logs — Fabric—Change was initiated by another director in the fabric that is not managed by this HAFM appliance. — Web server—Change was made by a user through the Embedded Web Server interface. — Fibre Channel Host—Change was made inband by a Fibre Channel host through the Open Systems or FICON management server. — Telnet—Change was made through a Telnet connection. ■ Identifier—Identifies the user making the change according to the source: — Maintenance Port—No entry displays.
Using Logs Event Log The Event Log provides a record of significant events that have occurred on the director, such as hardware failures, degraded operation, port problems, FRU failures, FRU removals and replacements, port problems, Fibre Channel link incidents, and HAFM appliance to director communication problems. The information is useful to maintenance personnel for fault isolation and repair verification.
Using Logs Each log entry includes the following: ■ Date/Time—The date and time of the event on the director ■ Event—Events are identified by a unique code.
Using Logs ■ Severity—There are four classifications of severity that identify the importance of the event. — 0=Informational — 2=Minor — 3=Major — 4=Severe (not operational) ■ FRU Position—An acronym representing the FRU type, followed by a number representing the FRU chassis position. FRU acronyms are: — BKPLNE—backplane — CTP—CTP card — SBAR—SBAR card — Port—card — FAN—fan module — PWR—power supply The chassis (slot) position for a non-redundant FRU is 0.
Using Logs Hardware Log The Hardware Log displays information on FRUs inserted and removed from the director.
Using Logs — GXXL—G_Port, mixed mode, LC connector, 1 Gigabit — FPM—G_Port, small form factor pluggable (SFP) optics, FICON port module, 1 Gigabit — UPM—G_Port, small form factor pluggable (SFP) optics, universal port module, 2 Gigabit — GSF2—G_Port, small form factor pluggable (SFP) optics, universal port module, 2 Gigabit — GLSR—G_Port, short wave, single mode, MT-RJ connector, 1 Gigabit — GXXR—G_Port, mixed mode, MT-RJ connector, 1 Gigabit — GSMR—G_Port, short wave, multimode, MT-RJ connector, 1 Gigabit
Using Logs Link Incident Log The Link Incident Log displays the 1,000 most recent link incidents with the date the incident occurred, the time it occurred, and the port on which the incident took place. The information is useful to maintenance personnel for isolating port problems [particularly expansion port (E_Port) segmentation problems] and repair verification. Figure 60: Link Incident Log Each log entry contains: ■ Date/Time—The date and time of the incident.
Using Logs — Not-operational (NOS) primitive sequence received. A NOS was recognized. — Primitive sequence timeout. Link reset protocol timeout occurred. Timeout occurred for an appropriate response while in NOS receive state and after NOS is no longer recognized. — Invalid primitive sequence received for the current link state. Either a link reset or a link reset response primitive sequence was recognized while waiting for the offline sequence.
Using Logs Threshold Alert Log This log provides details of threshold alert notifications. Besides the date and time that the alert occurred, the log also displays details about the alert as configured through the Configure Threshold Alerts option under the Configure menu on the menu bar. Figure 61: Threshold Alert Log ■ Date/Time—Date and time stamp for when the alert occurred. ■ Name—Name for the alert as configured through the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box.
Using Logs Open Trunking Log This log displays only if the optional Open Trunking feature is installed. For details, see ““Open Trunking Log” on page 212.
Using Maintenance Features 5 5 This chapter describes how to use the options that display under the Maintenance menu on the menu bar along the top of the Element Manager window.
Using Maintenance Features Port Diagnostics The Port Diagnostics option enables you to run internal and external loopback tests on any port or all ports on a port card. To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 Service Manual for the Director 2/64 and the HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 Service Manual for the Director 2/140. Swap Ports (FICON Management Style) This procedure applies only to a director that is using FICON Management Style.
Using Maintenance Features 7. Follow the on-screen instructions and click Next to continue through to the next screen. 8. If you are finished configuring the director, back up the configuration data. For more information, see “Backup and Restore Configuration” on page 186. Notes: ■ Make sure that the system administrator varies devices offline that are attached to the ports whose addresses you are going to swap.
Using Maintenance Features Execute an IPL Caution: The Ethernet connection between the HAFM appliance and director is interrupted momentarily during an IPL. Note: An initial program load (IPL) is not intended for ordinary or casual use and should only be performed if the active CTP card is suspected to be faulty. This operation resets the active CTP card (an IML resets both CTP cards). Do not use this option unless directed by your support representative or if you need to reset a failed CTP card.
Using Maintenance Features Set Online State Use the procedure in this section to display the current director operating state (offline or online) and change the state as required. The director can have one of the following operational states: ■ Online—When the director is in the online state, all of the unblocked ports are allowed to log in to the fabric and to begin communicating. Devices can connect to the director and communicate with another device if: — The port is not blocked.
Using Maintenance Features Manage Firmware Versions Firmware refers to the internal operating code for the director. You can maintain up to eight firmware versions on the HAFM appliance for downloading to a director. To use the Firmware Library option to manage firmware versions, follow the steps in the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 Service Manual for the Director 2/64 and the HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 Service Manual for the Director 2/140.
Using Maintenance Features Enable Call-Home Notification The call-home feature enables the HAFM appliance to automatically contact a support center to report system problems. The support center server accepts calls from the HAFM appliance, logs reported events, and notifies one or more support center representatives. Use the Enable Call Home Notification function on the Element Manager to enable call-home notification for events that occur on the selected director. The default state is disabled.
Using Maintenance Features Backup and Restore Configuration Choose this option to save the product configuration stored on the director to the HAFM appliance hard disk, or to restore the product configuration from the HAFM appliance. Only a single copy of the configuration is kept on the HAFM appliance. The purpose of the backup is primarily for single-CTP systems, such as the director, where a backup is needed in order to restore a replacement CTP card.
Using Maintenance Features — Operating parameters [BB_Credit, E_D_TOV, R_A_TOV, director priority, preferred domain ID, rerouting delay, domain RSCNs, and director speed (Director 2/64 only)]. — SNMP configuration (trap recipients, community names, and write authorizations). — Zoning configuration (active zone set and default zone state). A backup is immediately attempted when you click Backup on this dialog box. A dialog box displays to confirm that the backup to the HAFM appliance is complete.
Using Maintenance Features Reset Configuration This feature is used to reset all configuration data for the director to factory default values. You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this feature. The Internet protocol (IP) address will reset to the factory default value during this procedure. You may not recover the Ethernet connection between the director and HAFM appliance if you have changed the director’s IP addressing from that default value.
Using Maintenance Features 3. To continue the reset operation, click Reset on the Reset Configuration dialog box. If you want to cancel the operation, click Cancel. Note: If you have enabled features that add additional port function since the director was shipped from the factory, these features will be disabled (factory default) when the configuration is reset. Only those ports that were enabled at the factory will function.
Using Maintenance Features Table 7: Data default values (Continued) Configuration Director Addressing Description IP Address Default 10, mac[3], mac[4], mac[5] converted to word32 MAC addresses are set in hexadecimal; IP addresses in decimal. A MAC address of 08 00 88 20 00 57 will be reset to an IP address of 10.32.0.87. Operating Parameters SNMP 190 Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 Gateway Address 0.0.0.

Optional Features 6 This chapter provides detailed information on using, administering, and configuring optional HAFM’s features through HAFM applications. There are two types of features covered in this chapter: ■ Keyed features, requiring feature keys to be purchased and enabled through the Configure Feature Key dialog box in the product’s Element Manager.
Optional Features FICON Management Server The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that allows host control and inband management of the director or switch through an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server attached to a director or switch port. The server communicates with the switch or director through a FICON channel. Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring are provided through a host-attached console.
Optional Features — If you manually set the date and time (Periodic Date/Time Synchronization is not enabled), a confirmation dialog box will display. You must click OK on that dialog box to continue manual configuration. — Host Control Prohibited—Click this check box to display a check mark and prohibit a host management program from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the director. In this case, the host program will have read authorization only and cannot make changes.

Optional Features 3. Click the check box in the Host Control Prohibited field to display a check mark and to prohibit the host management program from changing configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch. In this case, the host program has read-only access to configuration and connectivity parameters. Click the check box when it contains a check mark. This removes the check mark and allows a host program to change configuration and connectivity parameters on the switch. 4.
Optional Features Enable/Disable and Online State Functions In order for Fabric Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional features must be enabled. Also, there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the director or switch is offline or online.
Optional Features ■ WWNs of devices connected to F_Ports and switches connected to E_Ports (all-ports connection policy). Notes: ■ When the Switch Binding feature is first installed and has not been enabled, the Switch Membership List is empty. When you enable Switch Binding, the Membership List is populated with WWNs of devices, switches, or both that are currently connected to the switch. ■ If the switch is offline and you activate Switch Binding, the Membership List is not automatically populated.
Optional Features 3. Click one of the Connection Policy options. ■ Restrict E_Ports—Choose this option if you want to restrict connections from specific switches to switch E_Ports. Switch WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List to allow connection and removed from the Membership List to prohibit connection. Devices are allowed to connect to any F_Port. ■ Restrict F_Ports—Choose this option if you want to restrict connections from specific devices to switch F_Ports.
Optional Features Figure 67: Switch Binding Membership List dialog box See “Switch Binding” on page 199 for information on how the Switch Membership List is populated with WWNs according to options set in the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. 2. If nicknames are configured for WWNs through HAFM and you want these to display instead of WWNs in this dialog box, click Display Options. The Display Options dialog box displays. 3. Click Nickname, then click OK. 4.
Optional Features 5. WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List (and thereby allowed connection) when Switch Binding is either enabled or disabled. To allow connection to a switch port from a WWN in the Node List panel, choose the WWN or nickname in the Node List panel, then click the Add button. The WWN or nickname will move to the Membership List panel. 6. To add a WWN for a device or switch not currently connected to the switch, click Detached Node. The Add Detached Node dialog box displays. 7.
Optional Features — Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the Connection Policy in the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. For example, a WWN for a switch attached to an E_Port can be removed if Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports. — The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is blocked. — The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the director or switch (detached node).
Optional Features Enterprise Fabric Mode Enterprise Fabric Mode is an option available on the Fabrics menu in the HAFM application if the SANtegrity Binding feature key is installed. This option automatically enables the following features and operating parameters that are necessary in multiswitch Enterprise Fabric environments. Note that there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the director or switch is offline or online.
Optional Features Domain RSCNs This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from the Configure menu in the Element Manager. Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters and storage devices.
Optional Features Insistent Domain Identification (ID) This is a parameter in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, available from the Configure menu in the Element Manager. Enabling this option sets the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field in the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box as the active domain identification when the fabric initializes.
Optional Features Open Trunking Interswitch links (ISLs) connect ports between E_Ports on Fibre Channel switches and link these switches into a multiswitch fabric. Multiple ISLs may be connected between the switches in the fabric. Data from an attached end device (server or storage) flows through these ISLs to a target end-device connected to a switch somewhere in the fabric. A data flow is data received from a specified receive port that is destined for a port in a specified target domain (switch).
Optional Features Enabling and Configuring Open Trunking To enable Open Trunking for a specific switch and configure threshold values and event notification options, use the following steps. 1. Choose Open Trunking from the Configure menu. The Configure Open Trunking dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 68. Figure 68: Configure Open Trunking dialog box 2. Enable Open Trunking by clicking the Enable Open Trunking check box to display a check mark. 3.
Optional Features Set the Congestion Threshold using one of these methods: — Click the check box under the Use Algorithmic Threshold column to display a value under the Threshold % column. This value is computed by the feature’s rerouting algorithm. If you click this check box, you cannot enter a value into the Threshold % column for the port. If you click the check box to remove the check mark, any value that was set in the Threshold % column for the port will redisplay.
Optional Features 5. Set the Low BB_Credit Threshold. Note: Using default settings for Low BB_Credit Threshold should work well in most cases. This step is not required. This is the percentage of time that the transmitting link has no BB_Credit. This value is also used when determining routes for a transmit link. An ISL that has no BB_Credit for longer than this time percentage cannot be the recipient of traffic rerouted from other ISLs.
Optional Features Open Trunking Log The Open Trunking Log, as shown in Figure 69 provides details on flow rerouting that is occurring through director ports. Figure 69: Open Trunking Log 212 ■ Date and Time—Date and Time that action occurred. ■ Receive Port—The decimal receive port number on the local switch associated with the flow that was rerouted. ■ Target Domain—The decimal domain ID associated with the flow that was rerouted.
