21Director Product Manager User Guide

Product Manager Overview

Managing the StorageWorks Director 2/64 and
Director 2/140

Three options are available for managing the director through a user interface:

■ The Product Manager application installed on a StorageWorks High

Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager
must be through the HAFM. The HAFM and Product Manager applications
are installed on the HAFM server. The Product Manager application installs
automatically with the HAFM on remote workstations using any standard web
browser. For instructions, refer to the appropriate appendix that pertains to the
operating system for your workstation in the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric
Manager User Guide.

■ The Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface. Using a browser-capable PC

with an internet connection to the director, you can monitor and manage the
director through the web server interface. The interface provides a GUI
similar to the Product Manager application, and supports director
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation. (The online help
provides information regarding zoning, zone sets, and SAN management.)

To launch the web server interface, enter the director’s IP address as the
internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a
user name and password at the HAFM Login dialog box. The browser then
becomes a management console. Refer to the web server interface online help
for details on use. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User
Guide for more details on the Embedded Web Server.

Note: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is

“operator.” The default user name for the right to modify configuration data,
perform maintenance tasks, or perform other options is “administrator.” The default
password for both user names is “password.”

■ The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many

HAFM and Product Manager functions while entering commands during a
telnet session with the director. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate
management of a large number of directors using scripts. The CLI is not an
interactive interface; no checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no
prompts display to guide users through tasks. Refer to the HP StorageWorks
CLI Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches.

Product Manager Description

The Product Manager for the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and Director 2/140

has a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides in-depth

management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual directors and

their field-replaceable units (FRUs).

In contrast to the Product Manager, the HAFM enables administrators to monitor

operational status for all products and Fibre Channel fabrics managed by an

HAFM server. The HAFM application also provides tools to administer user and

product access to the HAFM application and Product Manager.

The Product Manager provides graphical views of director hardware components

and displays of component status. By positioning the cursor on icons, graphics,

panels, and other visual elements in these views and clicking the left or right

mouse button, you can quickly manage and monitor the director on your network.

Using the Product Manager, you can:

■ Back up and restore configuration data.

■ Clear the system error indicator.

Product Manager Overview

■ Configure extended distance buffering for ports.

■ Configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the director such as

BB_Credit, R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, preferred domain ID, insistent domain ID,
domain RSCNs, switch priority, director speed (Director 2/64 only), and
rerouting delay.

■ Configure individual ports with a port name describing the node attached to

the port.

■ Configure LIN alerts.

■ Configure interoperability mode for multiswitch fabrics.

■ Configure a nickname to display instead of WWN for the director and for

attached node devices.

■ Configure port binding.

Using the Product Manager

This section provides a general overview of the StorageWorks Director 2/64 and

Director 2/140 Product Manager application and its functions. For details on

performing specific tasks and using specific dialog boxes, refer to the appropriate

chapters in this guide.

Using Dialog Boxes

Buttons, such as OK, Activate, Close, and Cancel, initiate functions in a dialog

box. Click a button to perform its labeled function. Note the difference between

the OK and Activate buttons. The OK button saves the data you entered and

closes the dialog box. The Activate button saves the data you entered without

closing the dialog box. There is also a difference between the Close and Cancel

buttons. The Close button closes the dialog box and saves the data you entered.

The Cancel button cancels the operation and closes the dialog box without saving

the information you entered.

Keyboard Navigation

Keyboard navigation is an alternative to mouse navigation. The Product Manager

and HAFM applications support standard keyboard navigation.

red arrow marks the highest utilization level reached since the Performance View
was opened. If the system detects activity on a port, it represents minimal activity
with at least one bar.

When an end device (node) is logged in to a port, moving the cursor over the
port’s bar graph in the Performance View highlights the graph and displays a
message with the WWN of the connected node. If the connected node has more
than one port, this is the WWN of the specific port on the node. When a port is
functioning as an expansion port (E_Port), the message is “E_Port.” When a port
is not logged into an end-device (not functioning as an F_Port) or to another
director (not functioning as an E_Port), the message is the port’s current online
state.

Backing Up and Restoring Product Manager Data

Critical information from both the Product Manager and HAFM applications is
automatically backed up to a backup drive when the data directory contents
change or when you reboot the HAFM server. The backup drive is either an
Iomega

Note: To ensure trouble-free backups; it is imperative that you leave the backup media

in the drive at all times. Removing the media during a backup or restore can corrupt the
database on the media. Make sure that data is not being written to or read from the
backup drive before you remove the backup media by observing the following:

■ The Iomega QuikSync icon in the Windows® system tray spins when data is being

■ The CD-RW drive write LED flashes when data is being written to disk.

A separate application installed on the HAFM server is configured to
automatically mirror the contents of the HafmData directory to the Zip drive or
CD-RW drive when the contents are changed, or when you reboot the HAFM
server. This directory contains all HAFM and Product Manager data, so it can be
copied back to a newly restored HAFM server to fully recover the preferred
operating environment.

® Zip drive or internal CD-RW drive, depending on your HAFM platform.

written to or read from the Zip drive.

The mirroring operation will only occur while a user is logged in to Windows on
the HAFM server PC (independent of the HAFM login).

The data contained in the HafmData directory and mirrored to the backup media
includes the following:

■ All HAFM configuration including:

— Product definitions
— User names, encrypted passwords, and user rights
—Nicknames
— Session options
— HAFM SNMP configurations
— E-mail configuration

■ All log files (both HAFM log files and individual Product Manager log files).

■ Zoning library (all zone sets and zone definitions).

■ Firmware library.

64 Director Product Manager User Guide

■ Call-home configuration (including phone numbers and dialing options).

■ Configuration data saved to the HafmData directory through the Backup &

Restore Configuration option on the Product Manager Maintenance menu.

The backup application will not back up certain Windows configurations that need
to be reconfigured on a newly restored HAFM server, including the following:

■ Windows user names and passwords.

■ TCP/IP network configuration (such as IP address, gateway address, and DNS

names).

The backup application is embedded with the HAFM application. A blank backup
disk (Zip disk or CD-RW disk) is required for each HAFM server and is included
with the HAFM server.

Restoring Data to the HAFM server

To restore data to the HAFM server, copy the: HafmData directory from the
backup media to: C:\hafmdata on the C drive.

(left to right).

— The Director 2/140 contains up to 32 port cards in the front of the unit

(slot positions 0-31) and up to three additional port cards in the rear (slot
positions 33-35). The blank slot (position 32) relates to ports 128-131,
which are internal ports.

As you move the cursor over each card, labels display, identifying the card's
slot number and port technology. Acronyms that may display to identify port
technology, such as UPM, GSML, GXXL, FPM, GLSR, GSMR, GLSL,
and GXXR also display in the FRU column of the FRU List View. Refer to
“FRU List View” on page 98 for details.

■ CTP cards. Two CTP cards are installed, slot positions 1 and 0 (left to right).

■ Power supply modules.

— The Director 2/64 contains two modules in slot positions 1 and 0 (left to

right).

— The Director 2/140 contains two modules in slot positions 1 and 0 (left to

right).

■ Cooling fan modules.

— The Director 2/64 contains two modules in slot positions 1 and 0 (left to

right).

68 Director Product Manager User Guide

— The Director 2/140 contains three modules in slot positions 2, 1, and 0

(left to right).

■ SBAR cards.

— The Director 2/64 contains two SBARs in slot positions 1 (bottom) and 0

(top).

— The Director 2/140 contains two SBARs in slot positions 1 (bottom) and 0

Monitoring Director Operation

Monitor the operating status of the director using the Director Status table on the
Hardware View and the status symbol on the status bar.

Director Status Table

The Status table at the top of the Hardware View displays the director’s
operational status, operational state, name, description, and location.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

Status

Refer to Table 4 for the meaning of the text that displays in the Director Status
table and the corresponding status symbols that display on the status bar.

State

The State field displays one of the following:

■ Offline—When the director is OFFLINE, all ports are offline. The ports

cannot accept a login from an attached device or cannot connect to other
directors. You can configure this state through the Set Online State dialog
box. Refer to “Set Online State” on page 177 for instructions.

■ Online—All unblocked ports are able to connect with devices. You can

configure this state through the Set Online State dialog box. Refer to “Set

Online State” on page 177 for instructions. Note that the director

automatically goes online after a power-up or an initial machine load (IML) or
initial program load (IPL).

■ Coming online—This is a transitional state that occurs just before the

director goes online. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is
a problem reaching the online state.

69Director Product Manager User Guide

Monitoring and Managing the Director

■ Going offline—This is a transitional state that occurs just before the director

goes offline. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a
problem reaching the offline state.

No Link Status

If the Ethernet network connection between the HAFM server and the director is
down, the Hardware View displays the front and rear of the unit without FRUs.
The Director Status table at the top of the Hardware View changes to display the
status (No Link) and reason with a yellow background. The name, description,
and location fields are blank.

The Reason field on the Director Status table displays one of the following
reasons when there are no links.

■ Never Connected—A network connection was never established between the

director and the HAFM server or the CTP card failed. Check the IP addresses,
the Ethernet local area network (LAN) physical connection between the
director and HAFM server, and other network connection conditions.

■ Link Timeout—The network connection that was established between the

director and server has been lost. Check the IP addresses, the Ethernet LAN
physical connection between the director and HAFM server, IP addresses, and
other network components.

■ Protocol Mismatch—The director and the server are not at compatible

software release levels. Update the HAFM application software version.

■ Duplicate Session—A link has previously been established between the

director and another instance of the HAFM server. Connect to the previously
established server from the HAFM login dialog box.

■ Unknown Network Address—The address defined for the director in the

HAFM application could not be found in the domain name server (DNS).
Either the name was incorrect when the director was added to the HAFM
application, or the name was not available from the DNS. Check the network
IP address for the director definition in the HAFM application when you
right-click the product icon and choose Properties. The IP address displays in
the Network Address field.

■ Incorrect Product Type—The product at the configured network address is

not a director. Verify address, configuration, and product type.

70 Director Product Manager User Guide

Status Bar Indicator

The status bar displays a colored status symbol that indicates the overall operating
status of the director unit. The operating status depends on hardware component
failures, which are indicated by status symbols that display over component
graphics in the Hardware View. Refer to “Status Bar” on page 47 for the
meanings of status symbols in the status bar.

The status bar indicates the director operating status based on component failures.
For example, for a single port failure, a blinking red and yellow diamond displays
on the port connector in the Hardware View. At the same time, a yellow triangle
displays in the status bar to indicate a degraded director. However, if a blinking
red and yellow diamond displays over both fan modules, the status bar displays a
red and yellow diamond, indicating a failure that requires immediate attention.

Monitoring Hardware Operation

Determine hardware component operating status and states by the simulated LED
indicators and status symbols that display on port cards, CTP cards, power
supplies, fan modules, and SBAR cards illustrated in the Hardware View.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

■ Green and amber indicators illuminate on each FRU to indicate either an

operational or degraded state, respectively. LEDs for individual ports do not
illuminate on port cards in the Hardware View, but do illuminate in the Port
Card View for each port (refer to “Using the Port Card View” on page 84).

■ Alert symbols, such as flashing red and yellow diamonds and yellow

triangles, display on FRUs to reflect the overall state of the hardware as
changes occur.

■ Corresponding or additional descriptions of hardware status and states also

display when you click components to display Properties dialog boxes.

failed, this CTP card has become the active card. If both CTP cards are
operational, no LEDs illuminates on the backup card, while the green LED
illuminates on the active CTP card.

■ Power, system error, and unit beaconing indicators—The green and amber

indicators on the far right of the front bezel simulate the power and system
error LEDs on the actual director bezel.

— Power Indicator—The green indicator simulates the power LED on the

actual director. When the indicator illuminates, the director is connected
to facility AC power and is operational. The indicator will be on if either
power supply is operating.

— System Error Indicator—The amber system error light indicator

(illuminated in Figure 13) simulates the system error light on the actual
director. When this indicator illuminates, an event has occurred requiring
immediate attention, such as a system, fan, power supply, or port failure.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

Refer to the section on joining zoned fabrics in the hp StorageWorks SAN
high availability planning guide.

The following messages display in the Reason field of the Port dialog box if
an Invalid Attachment, Segmented E_Port, or Inactive State occurs for the
port. Reason messages for segmentation can include:

— Incompatible operating parameters. Operating parameters, such as

resource allocation time-out values (R_A_TOV) or error-detect time-out
values (E_D_TOV), are inconsistent. Refer to “Configuring Fabric

Parameters” on page 124 for more information.

— Duplicate domain IDs. Identical preferred domain IDs are configured for

two or more directors or switches. Refer to “Configuring Switch

Parameters” on page 119 for more information.

— Incompatible zoning configurations. Refer to the HP StorageWorks

HA-Fabric Manager User Guide and the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64
Service Manual for more information on zoning.

— Build fabric protocol error.
— No principal switch. A principal director or switch is not defined for the

fabric.
— No response from the attached switch.
— ELP retransmission failure timeout. A director or switch with a hardware

or link failure attempted to join the fabric and transmitted multiple

exchange link protocol (ELP) frames to another director or switch.

Because of the failure, the failed director or switch did not receive

responses to the ELP frames and did not receive a FLOGI frame. The

failed director or switch times out.
A port binding error may be due to an invalid WWN or nickname entry in the

Configure Ports dialog box in the Bound WWN column. Refer to
“Configuring Ports” on page 127 for a description of the Configure Ports
dialog box.

Reasons messages for an invalid attachment can include:
— 01 Unknown. The reason is not known.
— 02 ISL connection not allowed on this port. ISL is

connected to a port configured as an F_Port.
— 03 ELP rejected by the attached switch. This director or

switch transmitted an exchange link protocol (ELP) frame that was

rejected by the switch at the other end of the ISL.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

— 04 Incompatible switch at other end of the ISL.

The switch is configured for Open Fabric mode, and the switch at the

other end of the ISL is an HP switch configured for Homogeneous mode.
— 05 External loopback adapter connected to the

port. A loopback plug is connected to the port, and no diagnostic test is

running.
— 06 N_Port connection not allowed on this port. The

port type configuration does not match the actual port use (the port is

configured as an E_Port, but attaches to a node device).
— Non-HP switch at other end of the ISL. The cable is

connected to a non-HP switch, and Interop mode is set to Homogeneous

mode.
— 08 ISL connection not allowed on this port. The port

type configuration does not match the actual port use (the port is

configured as an F_Port, but attaches to a director or switch).
— 10 Port binding violation—Unauthorized WWN. The

WWN that was entered to configure port binding for this port is not valid,

or a nickname was used that was not configured for the attached device in

the Product Manager.
— 11 Unresponsive node connected to port. Possible causes

are: (1) a hardware problem on a switch or connected node where ELP

frames are not delivered; the response is not received, or a fabric login

(FLOGI) cannot be received (there may be problem in the switch SBAR);

(2) a faulty or dirty cable connection; (3) faulty host bus adapters that do

not send out a FLOGI within a reasonable time frame.
Reason messages for an inactive state include:
— 1 Switch speed conflict (Director 2/64 only). The director data

speed was set to 2 Gb/sec, but the port only supports 1 Gb/sec operation

because it is on an FPM port card. (All ports on all installed FPM cards

will go inactive if the director data speed is set to 2 Gb/sec.) To activate

the port, either set the director data speed to 1 Gb/sec using the Configure

Switch Parameters dialog box, or replace the FPM card with a UPM

card.
— 2 Optics speed conflict (Director 2/64 only). The port data

speed was set to 2 Gb/sec, but the director data speed was set to 1 Gb/sec.

To activate the port, set the director data speed to 2 Gb/sec using the
