Product Manager Description
The Product Manager for the Edge Switch 2/32 is a Java-based graphical user
interfaces (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring
functions for individual Switches and their field-replaceable units (FRUs). Although
the Product Manager is accessed from the HAFM application, it is a separate
application.
In contrast to the Product Manager, the HAFM enables administrators to monitor
operational status for all products and Fibre Channel fabrics managed by an HAFM
server. The HAFM also provides tools to administer user and product access to the
HAFM and Product Manager. Refer to the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user
guide.
The Product Manager provides graphical views of Switch hardware components and
displays of component status. By positioning the cursor 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 Switch on your network.
Access the Switch Product Manager by double-clicking any Switch product icon on
the HAFM’s Products or the Topology Fabrics views.
Figure 1–1 on page 1-9 illustrates Switch management components. The figure shows
the following elements:
You can install the HAFM and Product Manager applications on remote workstations,
as shown in Figure 1–1, using any standard web browser. For instructions, refer to the
appendix in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide that pertains to the
operating system of your workstation.
