Director 2/140 Installation Guide
Director Management
The director is managed and controlled through:
■
The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the
HAFM appliance and provides a single point of management for all directors,
and a launching point for the Director 2/140 Element Manager.
■
Simple network management protocol (SNMP). A SNMP agent is
implemented through the HAFM application that allows administrators on
SNMP management workstations to access director management information
using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign
internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up
to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and
Edge Switches for more information.
■
The Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on
the director. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and
basic operation of the director, but does not offer all the capabilities of the
Director 2/140 Element Manager. Administrators launch the EWS interface
from a remote PC by entering the director’s IP address as the internet URL,
then entering a user name and password at a login screen. The PC browser
then becomes a management console.
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 director. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate
management of a large number of directors 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 for more information.
■
A customer-supplied PC or UNIX-based platform with the HAFM appliance
and client HAFM and Director Element Manager installed.
■
A customer-supplied remote workstation communicating with the HAFM
appliance through a corporate intranet.
