Director 2/140 Installation Guide
■
A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs
without tools or equipment.
■
Concurrent port maintenance—UPM cards are added or replaced and
fiber-optic cables are attached to ports without interrupting other ports or
director operation.
■
Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port, FRU, or
director in a multi-switch environment. When port beaconing is enabled, the
amber LED associated with the port flashes. When FRU beaconing is
enabled, the amber (service required) LED on the FRU flashes. When unit
beaconing is enabled, the system error indicator on the front bezel flashes.
Beaconing does not affect port, FRU, or director operation.
■
Data collection through the Element Manager on the HAFM appliance to help
isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit,
hardware, and engineering logs.
■
Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate Fibre Channel data paths
to ensure continued director availability in case of failover. The HAFM
application queries the status of each backup FRU daily. A backup FRU
failure is indicated by an illuminated amber LED.
■
SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance management information base
(MIB) Version 3.1, that runs on the HAFM appliance. Up to 12 authorized
management workstations can be configured through the HAFM application
to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate
operational state changes and failure conditions.
■
SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version
1.1), transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II
definition (RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on each director.
Up to six authorized management workstations can be configured through the
Element Manager on the HAFM appliance to receive unsolicited SNMP trap
messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure
conditions.
