Using Maintenance Features
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.
Execute an IPL
CAUTION: The Ethernet connection between the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric
Manager (HAFM) server 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 control processor (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.
If it is necessary for you to execute an IPL on the director, use the following steps:
1. Choose IPL from the Configure menu on the menu bar. The IPL Confirmation
dialog box displays, as shown in
Figure 5–2
.

2. Click Yes.
Choosing IPL from the Maintenance menu causes Ethernet connection between the
director and HAFM server to drop momentarily. The following occurs in the Product
Manager window:
•
As the network connection drops, the Director Status table on the Hardware
View turns yellow.
•
The Status field in the table displays
No Link
and the State field displays the
reason for no link.
•
A gray square displays in the status bar. Refer to
Table 1–1
for an explanation of
this status bar display.
•
The FRUs in the illustration in the Hardware View do not display. They display
again as the connection is reestablished.
