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).

1

Introduction

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.

embedded web server user guide 1–1

Introduction

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.

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

• Perform product operations and maintenance tasks, including:

— 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.

— Zones and zone sets.

— User rights (administrator and operator).

— 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.

1–2 embedded web server user guide

Viewing the User Interface

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

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.)

1–4 embedded web server user guide

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.

Key Terms

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.

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.

embedded web server user guide 1–5

Introduction

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.

Suggested Reading

A book that can help you to prepare to install products and configure a SAN is the hp
StorageWorks SAN high availability planning guide (620-000124/AA-RS2DB-TE).

You can obtain this book from the Hewlett-Packard website (
from the CD shipped with the Hewlett-Packard product you purchased.

Another publication you may want to read is Compaq StorageWorks SAN Switch
Zoning Reference Guide, which is a white paper on zoning fundamentals. It is
available online from the Hewlett-Packard website (

(http://thenew.hp.com) or

(http://thenew.hp.com).

1–6 embedded web server user guide

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, Configuring the Product.

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,

Configuring Zones.

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, Viewing Product and Fabric Data; Chapter 5, Monitoring

Products; and Chapter 6, Operating and Managing Products and Parts.

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

Monitoring Products, and Chapter 6, Operating and Managing Products and Parts.

Introduction

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.

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

• Enabling or Disabling Host Control on page 2-18

• Zoning Tab View on page 2-19

• Configuring User Rights on page 2-19

• Installing Feature Keys on page 2-22

embedded web server user guide 2–1

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 message Your

operations changes have been successfully activated

displays.

2. At the EWS screen, choose Configure from the navigation panel. The Configure
page and the Ports tab view display (Figure 2–1 on page 2-3).

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. 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.

2–2 embedded web server user guide

Figure 2–1: Configure Ports tab view

Configuring the Product

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

characters or less in the associated Name field. The port name should
characterize the device to which the port is attached.

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. If you have an installation with many products, you can have a large
number of ports. Thus, it is helpful to give each port a name that you relate to the device
connected to the port, which can help in isolating problems.

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 FAN column to enable or disable the fabric address

notification (FAN) feature (default is enabled). (The FA N 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.

embedded web server user guide 2–3

Configuring the Product

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.

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.

e. Choose from the drop-down list in the Type 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 Gb/sec operation.

— 1 Gb/sec — 1.0625 Gbps operation.

— 2 Gb/sec — 2.125 Gbps operation.

3. Click Activate to save and activate the changes. The message Your changes

to the port configuration have been successfully
activated displays.

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 message Your

operations changes have been successfully activated
displays.

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 SNMP variables sysName, sysLocation, and
sysContact. These variables are 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 2–2).

Configuring the Product
