Introduction

Overview

The Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI),

based on HTML, that enables the user to administer products, monitor products

and ports, and perform tasks to manage a simple Storage Area Network (SAN).

You can also use EWS to perform troubleshooting tasks and upgrade product

firmware.

With product firmware 04.00.00 (or later) installed, administrators or operators

with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can monitor and manage

the product through the EWS interface.

The EWS interface supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and

basic operation. The EWS interface neither replaces nor offers all of the

management capability of the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) and its

Product Manager applications (for example, the EWS interface does not support

all product maintenance functions).

In addition, EWS provides hyperlink access to other products in a fabric, which

means those products can also be managed.

Using EWS to Perform Tasks

Users can perform the following tasks using EWS:

■ Display the properties and operational status of the product, FRUs, and Fibre

Channel ports; display product operating parameters; and display fabric parameters.

■ Configure the director or edge switch, including:

— Fibre Channel port parameters, port types, and data transmission speeds.

— Product identification, date and time, operating domain parameters, fabric

parameters, and network addresses.

17Embedded Web Server User Guide

Introduction

— Parameters for product management through Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP), the Command Line Interface (CLI), the Open System Management Server (OSMS) feature, or the Fibre Connection (FICON) Management Server (FMS) feature.

Note: The Edge Switch 2/24 does not support out-of-band management through FMS.

However, the Edge Switch 2/24 does support transmission of FICON frames.

— Zones and zone sets.

— User rights (administrator and operator).

■ Monitor ports and port statistics, and display the event log and node list.

■ Perform product operations and maintenance tasks, including:

— Enable unit beaconing, set the product online or offline, and perform a

configuration reset.

— Enable port beaconing, perform port diagnostics, and reset ports.

— Retrieve dump files and retrieve product information files.

— Install optional feature keys.

— Configure product Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, names, and SNMP

settings.

— Install new versions of product firmware.

— Manage user access to features.

— Control product ports on an individual basis.

— Troubleshoot problems using event log and error status indicators.

Administrators and operators can access real-time information about the product and fabric.

The EWS interface can be opened from a standard web browser running Netscape

Navigator 4.6 or higher or Microsoft

® Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the web

browser, the user enters the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform

resource locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, the user enters a user

name and password.

Note: The default user name is Administrator and the default password is password.

The user name and password are case-sensitive.

18 Embedded Web Server User Guide

Viewing the User Interface

When the EWS interface opens, the default display is the View page. Figure 1

shows an example EWS view with labels for the various parts of the image. This

example shows the Configure > Switch > Identification screen for the

Edge Switch 2/24. For other products, the corresponding page looks very similar.

Introduction

Figure 1: Example Embedded Web Server page for Edge Switch 2/24

As shown in Figure 1, particular terms are used when describing the EWS

interface:

■ Navigation panel — at the left of the screen is a menu of the various primary

views available on the screen. The navigation panel options include:

— View — At the View page, the Director or Switch (default), Port

Properties, FRU Properties, Unit Properties, Operating Parameters, and Fabric task selection tabs display.

— Configure — At the Configure page, the Ports (default), Director or

Switch, Management, Zoning, and User Rights task selection tabs display.

19Embedded Web Server User Guide

Introduction

— Monitor — At the Monitor page, the Port List (default), Port Stats,

Log, and Node List task selection tabs display.

— Operations — At the Operations page, the Director or Switch (default),

Port, Maintenance, and Feature Installation task selection tabs display.

— Help — The Help option opens online user documentation that supports

the EWS interface. This manual supplements the online help that is included with the EWS interface.

■ Page — describes the entire screen except the navigation panel. When you

choose an item from the navigation panel, the corresponding page view displays. For example, choose Configure from the navigation panel to view the Configure page.

■ Ta b — describes a label for a viewing option on a page, such as the Switch

and Identification tabs shown in Figure 1. Task selection tabs display at the top of the page. The task selection tabs allow users to perform director- or switch-specific tasks.

■ Ta b vie w — describes the fields, buttons, and labels that display when you

click on a tab. The tab view contains the information you are trying to access and activities that you can complete.

■ Date and Time — specifies the time when the information shown on the page

view was last updated.

Benefits

The EWS interface provides the following benefits:

■ Enables a single product to be managed from a single point of access.

■ Allows an administrator to manage a product from any location (such as their

office, a raised floor area, or a conference room) within the company’s public/private networks.

■ Enables an administrator to view the most current information about a product

upon accessing the product.

(This easy access provides a single point of product administration that is not limited to the location of an application or special hardware.)

20 Embedded Web Server User Guide

Key Terms

Introduction

■ Protects the authorized rights of users to perform tasks through roles defined

as operators and administrators.

(This protection enables companies to decide who should perform everyday tasks, such as monitoring product status, and sensitive tasks, such as installing firmware updates. This flexible approach enables companies to define roles within their organization while providing a level of security against unauthorized access.)

■ Enables users to simply start a web browser, enter the network address of the

product, and log in to start using EWS.

(No additional installation is required. EWS is ready and available to perform administration tasks once the hardware is installed and connected to the Ethernet network.)

■ Allows users to utilize a familiar web browser-based graphical user interface

that uses standard web browser applications for access.

■ Allows users to obtain assistance in performing tasks through online help.

This section provides key terms that will help you perform tasks, especially tasks

such as zoning.

Fabric

Entity that interconnects N_Ports and is capable of routing (switching) Fibre

Channel frames using the destination ID information in the Fibre Channel frame

header accompanying the frames.

21Embedded Web Server User Guide

Introduction

Storage Area Network (SAN)

A high-performance data communications environment that interconnects

computing and storage resources so that the resources can be effectively shared

and consolidated.

Zone (Zoning)

A zone is a group of devices or zone members in a SAN that can communicate

and access each other. Communication is only allowed between devices in the

same zone. A device can be in multiple zones so that shared resources can be

accessed by many devices. Because SANs connect many types of devices that

may carry different protocols, separating an entire fabric into zones can control

access between specific devices. Zone (or zoning) is an efficient method of

managing, partitioning, and controlling access to SAN devices. Zoning maximizes

resources while maintaining data security and enabling heterogeneous systems

and products to operate in the same SAN.

Zone Member

Specification (definition) of a device that belongs to a zone. A zone member can

be identified by the port number of the device to which it is attached or by its

device or host bus adapter or World Wide Name (WWN). In multiswitch fabrics,

identification of end-devices and nodes by WWN is preferable.

Zone Set

A zone set is composed of one or more zones. When a zone set is activated, all

zones in the set are activated at the same time. Only one zone set can be active in

the fabric at one time, and that zone set is referred to as the active zone set.

Where to Start

Depending upon whether the Hewlett-Packard product you purchased has already

been installed, you may need to go to a specific chapter. If the product has not

been installed, you should start at Chapter 2.

If the product was installed, then many of the configuration tasks were probably

already completed. In that case, you may need to configure a zone. Configuring

(including adding, deleting, and changing) zones is described in Chapter 3.

If the products have been configured and you have a functioning SAN, then you

most likely will be interested in performing system administration tasks. Those

tasks are described in Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Chapter 6.

If you need to perform troubleshooting, then you will want to review Chapter 5

and Chapter 6.

Starting EWS

Open the EWS interface as follows:

1. Ensure the workstation (or device you use to launch the web browser) and the Ethernet LAN segment containing the product, such as Edge Switch 2/24, are attached and connected through the Internet.

Introduction

Note: You must be able to make a connection between the web browser and the

product in order to login to the product.

2. Launch the web browser application (such as Netscape Navigator, version 4.6 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 4.0 or higher).

3. At the web browser, enter the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL) such as http://10.1.1.11.

Note: If the product has not been installed, refer to the product’s installation and

service manual for the appropriate IP address, login ID, and password that is initially used when you install and configure the product.

23Embedded Web Server User Guide

Introduction

After a connection is made between the web browser and the product, the Enter Network Password dialog box displays as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 2: Enter Network Password dialog box

4. Type the user name and password. The EWS interface opens with the View page displayed, as shown in Figure 3.

Note: The default user name is available from the installation and service guide that

was shipped with the product. The user name and password are case-sensitive. Also, during installation, the default values may have been changed. If defaults have changed, contact your system administrator for the valid user names and passwords.

■ Installing Feature Keys on page 52

25Embedded Web Server User Guide

Configuring the Product

Factory Default Values

HP products on a SAN have preset, default configuration values that were set in the factory. The items that have factory-set default values are:

■ Passwords (customer and maintenance-level)

■ Internet Protocol (IP) address

■ Subnet mask

■ Gateway address

The specific default values associated with a particular HP product are documented in the installation and service manual for the product.

Configuring Ports

Perform procedures in this section to configure names and operating characteristics for Fibre Channel ports. To configure one or more ports:

1. If you are going to change the Speed parameter on an Director 2/64, set the product offline as follows:

a. Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Operations page

displays.

b. Click the Online State tab, then click Set Offline. The following message

displays: Your operations changes have been successfully activated.

2. At the EWS screen, choose Configure from the navigation panel. The Configure page and the Ports tab view display (Figure 4).

Note: Because the Director 2/140 has many ports, the listing of ports is divided into

separate displays, which are accessed by clicking the hyperlinks 1-31, 32-63, 64-95, 96-127, and 132-143. (Ports 128 through 131 are internal ports and not available for external connections.) If you make any changes to a particular list of ports, click Activate before selecting another list of ports. If you do not click Activate, changes are not implemented on the director.

26 Embedded Web Server User Guide

Configuring the Product

Figure 4: Configure Ports tab view

a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24 alphanumeric

characters or less in the associated Name field.

Note: When naming ports, you may want to name each port based on the device

attached to the port. For example, if the port is attached to an e-mail server, you might name the port email1 server port 2. The important point is to relate the name of the port to the device that is attached to the port.

b. Click a check box in the Blocked column to block or unblock a port

(default is unblocked). A check mark in the box indicates a port is blocked. Blocking a port prevents the attached devices or HP products in the fabric from communicating. A blocked port continuously transmits the offline sequence (OLS).

c. Click the check box in the FA N column to enable or disable the fabric

address notification (FAN) feature (default is enabled). (The FAN column is available only on the Edge Switch 2/24.) A check mark in the box indicates FAN is enabled. When the feature is enabled, the port transmits a FAN frame after loop initialization to verify that Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) devices are still logged in. It is recommended this option be enabled for ports configured for loop operation.

27Embedded Web Server User Guide

Configuring the Product

Note: If a device is connected and logged in to the fabric when extended distance is

enabled or disabled on the corresponding port, the HP product sends OLS for 5 milliseconds to force the device to log in again and obtain the new BB_Credit value set for the port.

d. Click a check box in the 10-100 km column to define extended distance

buffering. (This column is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24.) A check mark in the box indicates extended distance buffering is enabled. You can enable extended distance for a port even if it is not an extended distance port. However, enabling extended distance buffering for a port disables the ability of the port to send broadcast traffic. When you choose this option, the port can support up to 60 buffer-to-buffer credits (BB_Credits) to handle link distances up to 100 km. This enables the port to process 2K frames from attached devices. If this option is not enabled, the port uses the BB_Credit value.

e. Choose from the drop-down list in the Ty pe column to configure the port

type. Available selections are:

— G_Port — Generic port.

— F_Port — Fabric port.

— E_Port — Expansion port.

— GX_Port — Generic mixed port. Use this selection to configure a

port as a generic loop port (GL_Port). The port automatically negotiates any connection type (Edge Switch 2/24 only).

— FX_Port — Fabric mixed port. Use this selection to configure a port

as a fabric loop port (FL_Port). The port automatically negotiates F_Port and FL_Port connections only (Edge Switch 2/24 only).

f. Choose from the drop-down list in the Speed column to configure the port

transmission rate. Available selections are:

— Negotiate — Auto-negotiate between 1.0625 and 2.125 gigabits per

second (Gbps) operation. This is valid only on products that are capable of 2 Gbs operation.

— 1 Gb/sec — 1.0625 Gbps operation.

— 2 Gb/sec — 2.125 Gbps operation.

28 Embedded Web Server User Guide

3. Click Activate to save and activate the changes. The following message displays: Your changes to the port configuration have been successfully activated.

4. If the product is offline, set the product online as follows:

a. Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Operations page

displays.

b. Click the Online State tab, then click Set Online. The following message

message displays: Your operations changes have been successfully activated.

Configuring Product Identification

Perform this procedure to configure the HP product’s name, description, location, and contact person. The Name, Location, and Contact variables configured here correspond respectively to the variables used by SNMP management workstations when obtaining data from managed edge switches or directors. To configure identification:

1. Choose Configure from the navigation panel. Choose the Switch or Director tab, as appropriate. The Switch or Director tab displays with the Identification tab view (Figure 5).
