■ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element Manager. It allows
administrators on SNMP management workstations to access product
management information using any standard network management tool.
Through the Element Manager, administrators can assign Internet protocol
(IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six workstations
functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. Refer to the HP StorageWorks
SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches for more
information.
This manual provides details on the Element Manager for the Director 2/64 and
Director 2/140 products only. It provides instructions for using the Element
Manager through the HAFM application.
Element Manager Description
The Element Manager for the director products is a Java-based graphical user
interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and
monitoring functions for individual directors and their field-replaceable units
(FRUs).
The Element Manager provides graphical views of director hardware components
and displays of component status. By positioning the mouse pointer on icons,
graphics, panels, and other visual elements in these views and clicking the left or
right mouse button, you can quickly manage and monitor the director on your
network.
The server software for the HAFM and Element Manager comes installed on the
HAFM appliance.
You can install the HAFM and Element Manager clients on remote computer
systems, as shown in Figure 1 on page 21. For instructions, refer to the section in
HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide that pertains to the operating
system of your computer.
