12 About this guide

1 Introducing Advanced Web Tools

HP StorageWorks Advanced Web Tools is a GUI that enables administrators to monitor and manage single or small fabrics, switches, and ports from a standard workstation. It is included with every HP StorageWorks B-Series switch.

Web Tools provides the administrative control point for HP Advanced Fabric Services, including Advanced Zoning, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, and Fabric Watch. Advanced Web Tools also provides an interface to telnet commands to perform special switch functions and diagnostics that are available only through the telnet interface.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Changes to this guide for OS v5.0.0, page 13

• Launching Advanced Web Tools, page 24

• Switch Explorer, page 25

• Displaying Switches in the fabric, page 32

• Advanced Web Tools and secure mode, page 32

• Recommendations for working with Advanced Web Tools, page 33

Changes to this guide for OS v5.0.0

The following changes are new to v5.0.0 and are not included elsewhere in this guide.

• On page 24, in the section “Launching Advanced Web Tools,” change the following sentence:

For a list of Web browsers compatible with Fabric OS 4.4.0, refer to “Requirements” on page 23.

to:

For a list of Web browsers compatible with Fabric OS 5.0.0, refer to “Requirements” on page 23.

• On page 24, in the section “Launching Advanced Web Tools,” add the following after the first

paragraph:

When you launch Advanced Web Tools, you must log in to establish a session. You can log in at the admin, switchAdmin, or user level. Each role gives you different access levels:

• admin - You have full access to all of the Web Tools functionality.

• switchAdmin - You can do everything the admin role can do, except for the following:

•You cannot modify zoning configurations.

•You cannot change account information for any accounts other than your own.

• user - You can view switch information, but cannot access any of the switch administration modules.

• On page 24, in the section “To launch Web Tools,” add the following information after step 2:

The switch banner displays, if one is configured for the switch.

3) Optional: Accept the security terms as displayed in the banner.

The active CP in the Core Switch 2/64 is labeled with a small arrow at the bottom of the CP display.

With the following:

In Figure 2, the Core Switch 2/64 director has two domains; however, only one domain is displayed. You can view and manage only one domain at a time, even though both domains are enclosed in the same chassis. To manage the other domain, you must log in to it separately. The active CP in the Core Switch 2/64 director is labeled with a small arrow at the bottom of the CP display.

24 Introducing Advanced Web Tools

Figure 1 Advanced Web Tools Switch Explorer for a SAN Switch 4/32

Switch Explorer

The first thing you see when you log in to a switch with Advanced Web Tools is the Switch Explorer (Figure 1). The Switch Explorer is divided into areas that provide access to and information about the switch and fabric. Familiarize yourself with these areas; the procedures in this guide refer to them as follows:

• Fabric Tree, which displays a list of all the switches in the fabric

• Fabric Toolbar, which provides access to fabric-wide management interfaces, such as Name Server,

and events

• Switch View, which displays an interactive graphical representation of the switch

• Switch View button menu, which displays buttons providing switch information, such as status, event

information, access to telnet, switch administration, switch performance, beaconing, and more

• Switch Information View, which displays information about the switch such as name, status, Fabric OS

version, domain ID, IP address, and worldwide name (WWN)

• Status Legend, which defines the meaning of the colors visible in the background of various icons in

the Switch Explorer

These areas are described in greater detail in the sections that follow.

Clicking some of the buttons and icons in the Switch Explorer opens a separate module from which you can perform management tasks. In this document, a module is a collection of related tabs or views that appears in a single browser window.

The format of the Switch Explorer varies depending on the hardware type. Figure 2 on page 27 through

Figure 4 on page 29 show Switch Explorer examples for several HP StorageWorks switches. The SAN

Switch 2/8V Switch Explorer view (shown in Figure 4 on page 29) is a good example showing how the SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/32, and SAN Switch 4/32 Switch Explorer views look. Note that these figures are grayed out so that you can more easily see the areas of the Switch Explorer.

In Figure 2 through Figure 4, the letters A through F call out the various areas within the Switch Explorer.

Table 2 is a key for these callouts.

Fabric Tree

The Fabric Tree is the left panel of the Switch Explorer. The Fabric Tree displays all switches in the fabric, including switches that do not have an Advanced Web Tools license. Switches segmented before Advanced Web Tools is launched are not displayed.

Although all switches in the fabric are displayed, only switches that have an Advanced Web Tools license installed can be managed through Advanced Web Tools. Other switches must be managed through the Fabric OS command line interface (CLI) or another management application. For information on adding an Advanced Web Tools license to a switch, see ”Installing an Advanced Web Tools license” on page 37.

Fabric OS 5.0.0 Advanced Web Tools user guide 29

Use the menu at the top of the panel to view switches in the Fabric Tree by switch name, IP address, or WWN. The background color of the switch icon indicates the current status of the switch.

The Fabric Tree is updated at time intervals, depending on the number of switches in the fabric. On average, for a fabric with up to 12 switches, the Fabric Tree is updated every 30 seconds. For every additional 12 switches in the fabric, an additional 30 seconds are required to update the Fabric Tree. The Switch Information View displays a field, Polled At, that identifies the last time the information was updated.

You can also manually refresh the status of a switch within the fabric by right-clicking that switch in the Fabric Tree and then selecting Refresh.

Fabric Toolbar

The Fabric Toolbar at the bottom of the Fabric Tree enables you to access fabric-wide administration tasks quickly. The Fabric Toolbar icons provide access to:

• Fabric events: information collected from the launch switch. See ”Monitoring

• Topology module: information collected from the selected switch. See

• Name Server information: information collected from the selected switch. See

events” on page 79 for more information.

”Displaying a fabric topology report” on page 84 for more information.

”Displaying the name server entries” on page 85 for more information.

It is important to note that the information displayed is gathered from different areas; switches in the fabric may run different versions of Fabric OS, and different versions of Fabric OS support different features, so the information displayed may not always be the same for switches running different versions of Fabric OS.

Switch View

The Switch View displays a graphical representation of the selected switch, including a real-time view of switch and port status. This view is accessed by selecting a switch icon in the Fabric Tree.

NOTE: The Switch View display is updated approximately every 15 seconds. The initial display of the

Switch Explorer, however, may take from 30 to 60 seconds after the switch is booted.

The layout of information is different for the Switch View of different switch types. See Figure 2 through

Figure 4 for examples of different Switch Views.

• Zone Administration module: information collected from the selected switch. This

icon is displayed only if an HP Advanced Zoning license is installed on the switch. If secure mode is enabled, zoning can be administered only from the primary FCS switch. If the selected switch has a zoning license installed but is not the primary switch, the Zone Admin icon is displayed but not activated. See ”Managing zoning with Advanced Web Tools” on page 93 for more information.

Switch View button menu

The Switch View button menu is the launch point for the Switch Events screen, telnet interface, Fabric Watch module, Switch Admin module, Performance Monitor module, and High Availability (HA) Admin module. Some of these functions require a license key to activate. The Switch View button menu also includes buttons that display the status of the switch fans, temperature monitors, switch information, power supply, and beacon.
