Introducing HP Web Tools

Overview

Web Tools provides a graphical interface that enables an administrator to monitor and manage entire fabrics and individual switches and ports from a standard workstation.

Advantages of Web Tools

Web Tools is an excellent partner to the traditional Fabric OS CLI commands, and in many ways can provide faster and more effective results than can be achieved strictly through a Command Line Interface.

The following are some of the features that make Web Tools an important part of the switch management and administration process:

■ Web Tools can be used from a standard workstation and provides the user the

advantage of being “virtually” in front of any fabric, switch, or port.

■ Web Tools makes zoning a simple “click and drag” process, rather than

having to tediously type out IP addresses and port numbers to put in a configuration.

■ Web Tools provides the “Performance Monitor” feature. This feature allows

you to view the status and traffic of a switch or port in seconds by easily creating a variety of effective graphs.

■ Web Tools is easy and intuitive to use.

■ Web Tools supports Secure Fabric OS. For more information, see the HP

StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide.

Capabilities of Web Tools

Web Tools provides the following information and capabilities:

■ Monitoring and managing the entire fabric. See “Fabric Management” on

page 187.

■ Monitoring and managing individual switches. See “Switch Management” on

page 61.

■ Monitoring and managing individual ports. See “Port Management” on

page 249.

When monitoring and managing the entire fabric, Web Tools allows you to perform the functions shown in Tabl e 2.

Web Tools Main Views

Web Tools provides access to and information about a fabric through a number of separate windows, called “views,” making it possible to manage and monitor several aspects of a fabric at the same time.

The Web Tools window is divided into two frames. The main views available through Web Tools are:

■ Fabric Tree which displays a list of all the switches in the fabric.

■ Switch View which displays a interactive graphical representation of the

switch, along with a synopsis of information about the switch including information such as: Switch Status, Switch Name, Fabric OS Version, Domain ID, IP address, WWN, and current zone configuration.

An example of the Web Tools Switch Explorer View for a Core Switch 2/64 is displayed in Figure 1.

Fabric Tree

The Fabric Tree is the left window of the Switch Explorer and displays:

■ A list of all the switches in the fabric. You can use the drop-down menu to

view these switches by Switch Name, IP address, or WWN. The background color displays the current status of the switch.

■ A Fabric Admin toolbar which provides access to fabric level administration

functionality including: Fabric Events, Topology, Name Server, and Zoning Admin.

28 Web Tools Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide

Introducing HP Web Tools

Note: The Switch View status is updated approximately once every 15 seconds. The

Fabric Tree status is updated approximately every 30 seconds. However, the initial display of the Switch Explorer may take from 30 to 60 seconds after the switch is booted.

Note: For all status displays that are based on errors per time interval, errors will not

cause the status to change to faulty until the entire sample interval has passed.

An example of the Fabric Tree is displayed in Figure 2.

Web Tools in Secure Mode

The Security feature may change your ability to access Web Tools functionality when Secure Mode is enabled. For more information on the Security feature see the HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide.

Web Tools Access and the HTTP_POLICY

When Secure Mode is enabled, access to the Web Tools interface is controlled by the HTTP_POLICY. If Secure Mode is enabled and an HTTP_POLICY has been defined, your workstation IP address must be included in this policy or you will not have access to Web Tools for any switch in the fabric. If your workstation IP is not included in this policy, the interface disabled page will display when you attempt to access a switch.

Primary FCS Only Functionality

The following Web Tools functionality is reserved for the Primary Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) when Secure Mode is enabled:

■ Zoning Administration is only allowed from the Primary FCS switch when

Secure Mode is enabled. For all other switches in a secure fabric, the Zoning Button is disabled.

■ SNMP Access Control Lists and the SNMP Community Strings can only be

modified from the Primary FCS switch when Secure Mode is enabled. For Non-FCS switches, you can view the SNMP Community Strings but they are read only, and the SNMP Access Control Lists are not displayed.

Disabled Functionality

Telnet access to a switch and the Telnet Button in Web Tools are both disabled when Secure Mode is enabled for a fabric. You must use sectelnet or SSH to access the Fabric OS command line interface in a secure fabric. These capabilities are not accessible from Web Tools.

About the Network Config Tab

Use the Network Config tab of the Administrative interface to manage the IP networking functionality of the switch.

For more detailed information regarding network configuration, see the HP

StorageWorks Fabric Operating System Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide or configure command in the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Version

3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide.

Syslog IP

Syslog IP represents the IP address of the server that is running the Syslog process. The Syslog daemon reads and forwards system messages to the appropriate log files and/or users, depending on the system configuration. When one or more IP addresses are configured, the switch forwards all error log entries to the syslogs on the specified servers. Up to six servers are supported. See the HP

StorageWorks Fabric Operating System Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide for more information on configuring the Syslog daemon.

Switch Identification

If both the Fibre Channel IP and Ethernet IP are present, the switch is identified by the Fibre Channel IP.
