Product Manager Overview
This chapter provides an introduction and overview of the HP StorageWorks
Director 2/64 Product Manager and Director 2/140 Product Manager. It is intended as
a quick reference for using features available through the main Product Manager
window.
Managing the StorageWorks Director 2/64 and
Director 2/140
Three options are available for managing the director through a user interface:
•
The Product Manager application installed on a StorageWorks High Availability
Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through
the HAFM. The HAFM and Product Manager applications are installed on the
HAFM server.
The Product Manager application installs automatically with the HAFM on
remote workstations using any standard web browser. For instructions, refer to the
appropriate appendix that pertains to the operating system for your workstation in
the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide.
•
The 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 web server interface embedded in the director firmware. The interface
provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application, and supports director
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation. (The EWS online help
provides additional information regarding zoning, zone sets, and SAN
management.)
To launch the web server interface, enter the director’s IP address as the internet
uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a user name and
password at the HAFM Login dialog box. The browser then becomes a
management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details on
use. Refer to the hp StorageWorks embedded web server user guide for more
details on the Embedded Web Server.
