Introduction and General
Information
This chapter presents an overview of the High Availability Fabric Manager
(HAFM). It includes:
■ An introduction to using HAFM.
■ Information on how to access HAFM.
Introduction to High Availability Fabric Management
The High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is a Java-based graphical user
interface (GUI) that enables the user to manage users and products, monitor
products, and open Product Managers.
Note: Although the HAFM and Product Managers are separate applications, the
Product Managers are only accessible through the HAFM.
1
The HAFM and Product Managers are installed on the HAFM server to provide
local access to managed products. These applications can also be installed on
remote user workstations to provide remote access to the managed products
through the HAFM server. A maximum of eight concurrent remote users (in
addition to the local HAFM server user) can log in to the HAFM application.
If dual Ethernet adapters are to be used on the HAFM server, remote workstations
must use the adapter connected to the customer's intranet, and this must be adapter
number 1 (the primary adapter) in the HAFM server. Directors and switches must
communicate with the HAFM server on a private network using adapter number 2
(the secondary adapter). Remote workstations are not supported on the secondary
adapter, and must always connect to the primary adapter (Figure 1 on page 26).
For details on configuring remote workstations, refer to the appendix in this guide
that covers your workstation’s operating system.

Figure 1: Product management options
Besides the HAFM and Product Managers on the HAFM server, out-of-band
(non-Fibre Channel) management access to HP products is provided through the
following:
■ Management using simple network management protocol (SNMP). An
SNMP agent is implemented through the HAFM application, which allows
administrators on SNMP management workstations to access product
management information using any standard network management tool.
Administrators can assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding
community names for up to six SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP
trap message recipients.
■ Management through the Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
interface installed on the director or switch. This interface supports
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the product, but
does not offer all the capabilities of the corresponding Product Manager
application. Administrators launch the web server interface from a remote PC
by entering the product’s IP address as the Internet uniform resource locator
(URL), then entering a user name and password at a login screen. The PC
browser then becomes a management console.
26 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
Page 27
■ Management through a PC-based Telnet session using the command line
interface (CLI). Any platform that supports Telnet client software can be used.
HAFM Server Information
The HAFM server provides a central point of control for managed Fibre Channel
products. The HAFM server is required for installing, configuring, and managing
these products.
Note: Although products can perform normal operations without an HAFM server, the
HAFM server should operate at all times to monitor product operations, report failures,
log event changes, and log configuration changes.
High Availability Fabric Manager Overview
This section provides a general overview of the HAFM features.

Managing Remote Access to the HAFM Server
Users at the HAFM server can open the HAFM and Product Managers loaded on
the server itself. Users at remote PC workstations can also access the same HAFM
server or other HAFM servers if the workstations meet minimum hardware and
software requirements and are running the HAFM application. Workstations must
also be configured to connect with the HAFM server over a TCP/IP network
connection.
Figure 1 on page 26 illustrates a remote user workstation connected to the HAFM
server through a LAN. Please note that this is an example configuration only.
Operators at remote workstations can manage and monitor all products controlled
by the HAFM server. Each active connection between a remote workstation and
an HAFM server and managed products is called a session. A maximum of nine
concurrent remote users (eight remote and one local HAFM server user) can log in
to the HAFM application.

Requirements for Remote Workstations
The HAFM is downloaded and installed on user workstations from the HAFM
server. The remote workstations can be Windows® 95, Windows 98, Windows
2000, Windows XP, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, or Solaris systems.
For the minimum system requirements for remote workstations, refer to the
appendix in this guide for the appropriate operating system:
■ Appendix B for Windows.
