22 Edge Switch 2/32 Installation Guide

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.

■ The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many

HAFM 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 a large number of 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.

This manual provides details on the Element Manager application for the Edge

Switch 2/32 only. Use this manual for the Element Manager installed on an

HAFM appliance.

Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability

The switch provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability

features:

■ Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel

ports that provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.

■ System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs,

threshold alert logs, and hardware logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and

Fibre Channel link status at the HAFM appliance.

■ Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port

diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC)

loopback tests). The FC loopback test applies only when the switch is

configured to operate in FICON management style.

■ Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or

administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the

HAFM appliance.

■ A modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the HAFM appliance for

event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.
