FW V06.XX/HAFM SW V08.02.00 HP StorageWorks Director Element Manager User Guide (AA-RTDUC-TE, July 2004)

Overview
19Director Element Manager User Guide
Managing the Director
You can manage the director through several different interfaces. These interfaces
are as follows:
■ The Element Manager and HAFM
Installed on a HAFM appliance shipped from the factory. (You access the
Element Manager through the HAFM application.)
■ Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface
Using a browser-capable PC with an Internet connection to the director, you
can monitor and manage the director through the EWS interface embedded in
the director firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Element
Manager and supports director configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic
operation.
To launch the EWS interface:
1. Enter the director’s IP address as the Internet Uniform Resource Locator
(URL) into any standard browser.
2. Enter a user name and password at the login screen. The browser then
becomes a management console. (Refer to the Embedded Web Server
interface online help or the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User
Guide for details on use.)
Note: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is
“operator.” The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform
maintenance tasks, or perform other options is “Administrator.” The default password
for both user names is “password.”
■ Command Line Interface (CLI).
The CLI allows you to access many HAFM application and Element Manager
functions while entering commands during a Telnet session with the switch.
The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of many switches
using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking is done for
pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks CLI Reference Guide for Directors and Edge
Switches for more information.
