HAFM appliance

The HAFM appliance provides a central point of control for managed Fibre Channel products. The HAFM appliance is required for installing, configuring, and managing these products.

See the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager installation guide for details about the HAFM appliance.

NOTE: Although products can perform normal operations without an HAFM appliance, the HAFM

appliance should operate at all times to monitor product operations, report failures, log event changes, and log configuration changes.

HAFM application

The application is composed of two parts: the appliance (which runs only on the HAFM appliance) and the client. The server is installed on one HAFM appliance and stores storage area network (SAN) information; it does not have a user interface. To view SAN information through a user interface, you must log in to the server running on the appliance through a client.

NOTE: The server and clients can reside on the same machine or on separate machines.

In most configurations, the server calls the client whenever it has new data. In some cases, a network can utilize virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can

prohibit communication between the server application running on HAFM appliances and clients. In this situation, the application automatically detects the network configuration and runs the client in polling mode. See ”Configuring HAFM through a firewall” on page 195.

Dual LANs on the HAFM appliance

When two LANs are connected at the HAFM appliance, Microsoft application designate one as the public LAN, and the other as the private LAN.

• The private LAN is for communication between the HAFM appliance and the directors and edge

switches that the HAFM appliance manages.

• The public LAN is for communication between the HAFM appliance and computers seeking

remote client access to the HAFM appliance.

Either LAN connection on the HAFM appliance can be the public LAN or the private LAN. The directors and edge switches can be managed via either LAN; however, only the public LAN supports remote client access.

The title bar of the main window of the HAFM application shows the IP address of the public LAN.

HAFM overview22

Windows

and the HAFM

Public and private LAN designations

In a dual LAN configuration, both LANs must be connected when the HAFM appliance boots. If only one is connected, the HAFM appliance interprets this as a single LAN configuration, and the connected LAN is designated as the public LAN.

The HAFM application designates the public LAN as the first LAN detected whose IP address is not the reserved private subnet 10.x.x.x. Thus, if neither IP address is 10.x.x.x, the first LAN detected by the HAFM application is designated as the public LAN. This order of detection is influenced by Microsoft Windows and not guaranteed.

There are a two ways to ensure the pubic and private designations of the LANs:

• Assign the private LAN IP address, 10.x.x.x, to the LAN you want designated as the private

LAN. You must also have the public LAN connection active when the HAFM appliance is booting up.

• Configure a specified Ethernet interface on the HAFM appliance to be the public LAN by

manually editing a file on the HAFM appliance to explicitly specify which IP address the HAFM application should use as the public LAN.

Perform the following to configure an Ethernet interface:

•Open the config.properties file in directory C:\Program Files\HAFM\, and add

the following line:

ServerRmiIpAddress=x.x.x.x

where x.x.x.x is the IP address assigned to the Ethernet LAN adapter which is to be used as the public LAN. This entry is case sensitive and must be made exactly as shown. After this line has been added, reboot the HAFM appliance.

NOTE: Rebooting the server does not impact the Fibre Channel operations of any edge switch or

director. Only monitoring switch operations, logging events, and implementing configuration changes are interrupted.

Remote access to the public LAN

If the public LAN IP address of the HAFM appliance is changed, you must edit the config.properties file to reflect the new IP address.

Remote workstations are not supported on the secondary adapter, and must always connect to the public adapter.

For details on configuring remote workstations, see ”Configuring remote workstations” on page 257.

Out-of-band access

Besides the HAFM application and Element Managers on the HAFM appliance, out-of-band (non-Fibre Channel) management access to HP directors and switches is provided through the following:

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 23

• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent implemented through the HAFM

application. Administrators on SNMP management workstations can access product management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign IP addresses and corresponding community names for up to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.

• The Internet, using the HAFM Basic 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 Element Manager in HAFM. Administrators launch the web server interface from a remote PC by entering the product’s IP address as the Internet URL, and then entering a user name and password at a login window. The PC browser then becomes a management console.

• A PC-based Telnet session using the command line interface (CLI). Any platform that supports

Telnet client software can be used.

SAN life cycle

The HAFM application enables you to proceed through the four stages of the managed life cycle of the SAN with confidence. Table 2 describes the different stages in the life cycle.

At any point, a discovered SAN can be used as a starting point to plan a new SAN, completing the life cycle.

(Figure 3 on page 31).

Monitoring the HAFM application

This section describes monitoring the HAFM application.

Using the HAFM application40

Starting and stopping HAFM Services

HAFM Services is the software application that provides services to the HAFM application. HAFM Services runs only on the HAFM appliance.

You can start or stop HAFM Services from the desktop:

1. Select Start > Programs > HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager 8.8 > Stop Services.

Or Select Start > Programs > HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager 8.8 > Start Services.

Viewing user sessions

Monitoring clients is an important part of maintaining the SAN because more than one client can access an appliance at a time. You can view user sessions to determine which clients are logged in to the appliance.

To display the Active Sessions dialog box:

1. Select SAN > Active Sessions.

The Active Sessions dialog box is displayed (Figure 9).

Figure 9 Active Sessions dialog box

The Active Sessions dialog box shows information about the active users. If a user is logged in from more than one location, there is a separate entry for each session.

Disconnecting users

To disconnect a user:

1. Select a user and click Disconnect User to disconnect the user from the appliance.

The appliance immediately shuts down the appliance-client connection. The status bar on the client displays that the appliance connection was lost. All products and connections on the Physical Map stay in the condition they were in when the session ended; they do not turn grey. The client displays a message stating that a user disconnected the client from the appliance.

NOTE: To prevent this user from reconnecting, remove the user account. See ”Removing a user

account” on page 65 for instructions.

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 41

Fibre Channel networks use World Wide Names (WWNs) to uniquely identify nodes and ports within nodes. For many devices, the 64-bit WWNs are fixed, and their assignment follows conventions established by the IEEE. For other devices, the WWNs can be set or modified by the user. WWNs are a special concern for SAN Manager because:

• WWNs are used as the primary keys to identify network elements.

• Previous experiences have shown that an ill-formed WWN can be a malfunctioning device.

Proper operation with SAN Manager requires that WWNs be unique within the network and well-formed (they must be 64 bits in length and the first byte cannot be zero).

Determining user groups

An administrator can determine the groups to which a user belongs:

1. Select SAN > Users.

The Server Users dialog box is displayed (Figure 26 on page 64).

2. Select a user from the Users table.

3. Click Find.

The groups to which the user belongs are highlighted in the Groups list.

4. Click OK.

Importing data

You can import the following information to the application:

• SAN File (zip)—Imports an entire SAN in zip format.

• Nicknames—Imports the nicknames that were assigned to HP switches using the HAFM

appliance and displays them on the Physical Map and Product List as product labels. Nicknames must have been defined in the Node List View of the HAFM appliance. Nicknames defined in the Configure Ports area will not be imported. The WWNs in the nicknames file are assumed to be port WWNs. If this file uses the node WWN, no import will take place. The nicknames file is located in C:\EfcData\EmsData\efcHafmServices\WwnNicknames.

• Properties (csv)—Imports properties of products and ports, including labels and IP addresses.

The general format for this import is in comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The first line defines the kind of import (Node or Port) and lists the properties and columns in the Product List. The first column must be either Node Name or Port Name. Subsequent columns contain property (column) names. These properties can be standard (for example, Label), or user-defined (for example, Cabinet Color). Non-editable properties will not be imported (for example, Port Count). Non-existent columns will be ignored. The format is space sensitive (only commas are used as separators), so trim leading or trailing spaces unless you want to import them as part of the data. To import port properties, use the Port Name column header. Port import will only allow the Label property to be set.

• HBA Node Name—Imports data to an HBA, use Node import but specify the HBA’s port WWN

in the Node Name column. This is necessary since the HBA’s node WWN does not uniquely identify an HBA. Using the port WWN makes it possible to uniquely specify an HBA.

• Server HBA Mappings (csv)—Imports Server HBA Mappings into the existing Fabric Map. The

general format for this import is in comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The first row contains the header for the file, which does not effect the import process; however, text must be present. The first two boxes must be the World Wide Port Name (WWNN), then the Server Nickname. If either of these boxes is empty, the entry is null and is not imported. All additional boxes are ignored during the import process. The format is space-sensitive (only commas are used as separators) so trim leading or trailing spaces unless you want to import them as part of the data.

• Storage Port Mappings (csv)—Imports Storage Port Mappings into the existing Fabric Map. The

general format for this import is in comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The first row contains the header for the file, which does not effect the import process; however, text must be present. The first two boxes must be the WWPN, then the Storage Device Nickname. If either of these boxes are empty, the entry is null and is not imported. All additional boxes are ignored during the import process. The format is space-sensitive (only commas are used as separators) so trim leading or trailing spaces unless you want to import them as part of the data.

CAUTION: Importing files clears the Master Log of previous events.

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 55

NOTE: When discovery is on, the discovered SAN is replaced with the imported data. For

information about discovery, see ”Configuring discovery” on page 72.

Backing up and restoring data

You can protect your SAN data by backing up the data and then restoring it when necessary. The HAFM appliance provides a platform for the Enhanced Base package of the HAFM application. This provides more memory for future product enhancements.

Several types of appliance platforms can be available:

• The rack-mount appliance provides a platform for the Enhanced Base package of HAFM. This

unit provides more memory for future product enhancements.

• Customer-supplied server.

The following data is backed up from the Install_Home\Call_Home, Install_Home\Server and Install_Home\Client directories:

Using the HAFM application56

• All log files

• Zoning library

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

• Configuration data

• Plans

• License information

• User launch scripts

• User-defined sounds

• All data exported through the Export option on the SAN menu

NOTE: Firmware files are not backed up.

Backing up data

If you keep a CD-RW disk in the CD recorder drive of the appliance, critical data from the HAFM application is automatically backed up to the CD-RW disk when the data directory contents change or when you restart the HAFM application.

Restoring data

Allow 45 minutes after making a configuration change before restoring data from the backup files. This ensures that all your changes are included in the backed up files. It is possible that, in a disaster recovery situation, configuration changes made less than 45 minutes before appliance loss could be missing from the backup.

To restore data to the appliance platforms, perform the following procedure:

1. Reinstall the application, if necessary.

2. Open the HAFM application on the HAFM appliance.

3. Select SAN > Import.

The Import dialog box is displayed (Figure 23 on page 56).

Customer-supplied server backup

There are three options for backing up with HAFM:

• Backing up to a read writable CD

• Backing up to a hard drive

• Backing up to a network drive

Backing up data

HAFM backs up data to two alternate folders. For example, if the backup directory location is

D:\Backup, the backup service alternates between two backup directories, D:\Backup and D:\BackupAlt. The current backup is always D:\Backup and contains a complete backup of the

system. The older backup is always D:\BackupAlt. If a backup cycle fails, usually because the CDRW is full, there may be only one directory,

D:\Backup. There can also be a D:\BackupTemp directory, which you should ignore as it can be incomplete.

Backing up to a CD-RW

To back up to a CD-RW, you must have CD writing software installed, and the disk must be formatted by the software so that it behaves like a drive.

1. Select SAN > Options.

The Options dialog box is displayed (Figure 24 on page 59).

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 71

Discovering a SAN

The application discovers products, fabrics, and connections in a SAN. Through discovery, you can manage and monitor your SAN in real time, ensuring that any issues are resolved immediately. This section provides instructions for configuring the discovery feature.

Understanding how discovery works

Discovery is the process by which the application contacts the devices in the SAN. The application illustrates each product and its connections on the Physical Map. After you log in and configure and turn on discovery, the application discovers products connected to the SAN.

When performing out-of-band discovery, the application connects to the switches through the IP network, and product information is copied from the SNS database on the switch to the appliance.

Only fabrics that have HP switches as the principal switch are displayed. If a HP switch is being directly managed, but exists in a fabric where the principal switch is a third-party device, another appliance is not allowed to connect to and manage that device.

NOTE: Ensure that your SNMP communication parameters are set correctly in order to discover

switches. Otherwise, the discovery can fail.

Configuring discovery

To define the devices you want discovery to find:

1. Select Discover > Setup.

The Discover Setup dialog box is displayed (Figure 32).

Figure 32 Discover Setup dialog box

Managing the HAFM application72

NOTE: To discover all SAN products, you must specify each product’s IP address in the Discover

Setup dialog box (Out-of-Band tab). If you do not configure the application to discover the devices directly, the connections and attached devices may not be correct on the window.

2. Select IP addresses from the Available Addresses list and add them to the Selected Individual

Addresses list by clicking the right arrow ( ) button.

3. Click OK.

4. Click Add to specify the IP addresses you want to discover through out-of-band discovery.

You can add, change, and remove IP addresses as necessary. See ”Configuring IP addresses

and community strings” on page 76 for instructions.

5. Select the entries from the Selected Individual Addresses list that you do not want to discover

now, and move them back to the Available Addresses list by clicking the corresponding left arrow button.

6. Click OK.

7. Turn discovery on or off by selecting Discover > On or Discover > Off.

Troubleshooting discovery

If you encounter discovery problems, use the following procedure to ensure that discovery was set up correctly:

1. Verify IP connectivity by pinging the switch.

a. Display the command prompt. b. From the server, type ping switch IP address.

2. Verify the SNMP settings.

a. Launch HAFM Basic interface by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the

product as the Internet URL. For example, http://10.1.1.11

b. Log in and click OK. c. Select Configure > SNMP.

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 73

The SNMP view is displayed (Figure 33).

Figure 33 SNMP view

d. Verify that the SNMP Agent is enabled. If not, then click Enable. e. Verify that the Name box displays public or matches the HAFM appliance configuration.

3. Verify the product data.

a. Select Product > Hardware.

Managing the HAFM application74

The Hardware view is displayed (Figure 34).

Figure 34 Hardware view

b. Verify that the WWN has the correct syntax (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). c. Verify that the Type Number is one of the following:

003016 003032 003216 003232 004300 004500 005000 006064 006140

4. Verify SNMP connectivity.

a. Use a third-party MIB browser to verify the SNMP connection. b. Change the SNMP default timeout:

• Stop the server.

• Increase the default SNMP settings. If the device is running heavy traffic or is known to have slow SNMP response time, moderately increase the SNMP timeout (default timeout is one second) and retry count (default count is one retry).

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 75

• These two values are controlled by two VMParameters residing in the bin\HAFMService.ini file when the application is running as a Windows service: smp.snmp.timeout and smp.snmp.retries. For example, specifying “-Dsmp.snmp.timeout=5” and “-Dsmp.snmp.retries=1” instructs the server to use five seconds as the SNMP timeout and one retry as the retry count.

NOTE: The higher the values, the longer discovery will spend waiting for a SNMP response. This

translates to slower system performance.

• Restart the server.

Configuring IP addresses and community strings

You can alter the database of selected IP addresses, SNMP community strings, Product type, and Access that the application uses to perform discovery, communication functions, and password authentication.

Managing SAN products

Use the HAFM application to manage discovered products.

Using the Element Manager

You can use the Element Manager to manage switches and directors directly from the HAFM application.

NOTE: Use only one copy of the application to monitor and manage the same devices in a subnet.

Opening multiple copies of the application could result in errors.

Opening the Element Manager from the user interface

Use the Element Manager to search for a product, change product properties, and perform other configuration and maintenance tasks.

There are two ways to open the Element Manager from the HAFM user interface:

• Right-click a product icon and select Element Manager.

• Double-click a product icon.

Opening the Element Manager from the command line

The HAFM application contains a script that opens an Element Manager. To use the script:

1. Ensure that the HAFM appliance is running and the product is discovered.

2. Use a text editor to open the following script:

Install_Home\bin\HAFM_ElementMgr.bat.

3. Under the heading, rem HAFM Element Manager, find the line that begins:

...ElementManagerStandAlone -s ServerIp -p ProductIp -u UserName -pw

Password

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 89

4. Enter the appropriate values for the following parameters:

•ServerIp

•ProductIp

•UserName

•Password Example:

...ElementManagerStandAlone -s 172.16.9.10 -p 172.16.9.211 -u Administrator

-pw password

5. Save and close the file.

6. Run the script by double-clicking the file or entering the script name at a DOS prompt.

Searching for products in a SAN

You can search for a product in a SAN by entering a parameter in the search box on the toolbar.

1. Enter the search parameter (for example, an IP address) in the Search box on the HAFM toolbar.

2. Click the up or down arrow to search through the Physical Map.

3. Click Search to find each product.

NOTE: When the application finds a product, it highlights the product on the Physical Map as well

as on the Product List.

Changing product properties

To display a list of all products requiring attention, click the Attention Indicator icon ( ) on the Status bar. The Service Request dialog box shows the names and IP addresses of all devices needing attention. Click a product name to jump to the product on the Physical Map. This list updates dynamically.

Displaying routes between ports

You can view the path that Fibre Channel frames must take between two ports in a multiswitch fabric. More than one route shows at a time within the same fabric. If you attempt to show a different route within the same fabric, the previous route fades.

Before you display the route between two ports, ensure that:

• The fabric consists solely of HP M-series products.

• All switches or directors in the route are managed by the HAFM application and attached to the

same appliance.

• All switches or directors in the route are attached to the same appliance.

• All switches or directors in the route are Director 2/64, Director 2/140, Edge Switch 2/32,

Edge Switch 2/16, or Edge Switch 2/24 models and are running firmware 1.3 or higher.

• All attached products in the route are in the same zone.

To show the route for two ports:

1. In the Product List, click the plus (+) symbol next to the switch product icon you want to expand.

2. Right-click a node and select Show Route.

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 91

The Show Route dialog box is displayed (Figure 47).

You can change the nickname if you choose, but you cannot leave the Nickname box blank after assigning a nickname.

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 93

Configuring Enterprise Fabric Mode

Enterprise Fabric Mode option automatically enables features and operating parameters in multiswitch enterprise fabric environments. Enabling Enterprise Fabric Mode forces each switch in the fabric to enforce the following security-related features:

• Fabric Binding—Allows or prohibits switches from merging with a selected fabric.

• Switch Binding—Allows or prohibits switches from connecting to switch E_Ports and F_Ports.

• Rerouting delay—Ensures that frames are delivered through the fabric in order to their

destination, even if a shorter, new path is created. Frames sent over the new, shorter path are delayed to arrive after older frames still in route over the older path.

• Domain register state change notifications (RSCNs)—Indicates a switch entered or left the fabric.

Notifications occur fabric-wide and do not have zoning constraints.

• Insistent domain ID—Sets the domain ID as the active domain identification when the fabric

initializes. If insistent domain ID is enabled, the switch isolates itself from the fabric if the preferred domain ID is not the switch’s domain ID.

Enabling and disabling Enterprise Fabric Mode

To enable or disable Enterprise Fabric Mode for a fabric:

1. Select Configure > Enterprise Fabric Mode.

The Enterprise Fabric Mode dialog box is displayed (Figure 51).

Figure 51 Enterprise Fabric Mode dialog box

2. Select the fabric for which you want to configure Enterprise Fabric Mode from the Fabric Name

list. The fabric’s current status is displayed in the Enterprise Fabric Mode box.

3. To enable Enterprise Fabric Mode on the selected fabric, click Activate. To disable Enterprise

Fabric Mode on the selected fabric, click Deactivate.

NOTE: You must be managing the fabric in order to disable Enterprise Fabric Mode.

Configuring SAN products and fabrics94

Configuring Fabric Binding

Fabric Binding enables you to configure whether switches can merge with a selected fabric. This provides security from accidental fabric merges and potential fabric disruption.

Fabric Binding requires the installation of a security feature called SANtegrity. See ”SANtegrity

features” on page 118 for details.

NOTE: You cannot disable Fabric Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled.

Enabling Fabric Binding

You enable Fabric Binding using the Fabric Binding dialog box. After you enable Fabric Binding, use the Membership List to add switches that you want to allow in the fabric.

1. Select Configure > Fabric Binding.

The Fabric Binding dialog box is displayed (Figure 52).

Figure 52 Fabric Binding dialog box

2. Select the Enable/Disable check box for the fabric for which you want to configure Fabric

Binding.

3. Click OK.

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 95

Adding and removing switches

With Fabric Binding enabled, you can add or remove switches from the membership list.

• To add switches to the selected fabric’s membership list, select the switches from the Available

Switches list in the Fabric Binding dialog box, and click to move the switches to the membership list.

• To add a switch that does not have physical connection to the fabric:

a. Click Add Detached Switch. b. Enter the appropriate information in the following boxes:

•Domain ID

• Node WWN

c. Click OK.

• To remove switches from the selected fabric’s membership list, select the switches from the

Membership List in the Fabric Binding dialog box. Click to move the switches to the Available Switches list.

Persisting and unpersisting fabrics

When you persist a fabric, you take a snapshot of the fabric’s products and connections. This serves as a reference point for future comparisons. You can export the persisted fabric information for future reference. See ”Exporting data” on page 52.

NOTE: Each fabric has an HP principal switch to manage the devices in fabric. If the principal

switch changes, the new fabric must be manually persisted.

Persisting a fabric

To persist a fabric from the HAFM main window, do one of the following:

• Select a fabric in the Physical Map or Product List, and then select Configure > Persist Fabric.

• Right-click the fabric in the Physical Map or Product List, and then select Persist Fabric.

• Highlight a fabric in the Physical Map or Product List, and then click the Persist Fabric icon on the

toolbar.

Unpersisting a fabric

To unpersist a fabric from the HAFM window, do one of the following:

• Highlight a fabric in the Physical Map or Product List, and then select Configure > Unpersist

Fabric.

• Right-click the fabric in the Physical Map or Product List, and then select Unpersist Fabric.

A confirmation box is displayed, and then click OK.

Configuring SAN products and fabrics96

Unpersisting a product

You can unpersist a product that is no longer part of a persisted fabric. Doing so removes all connections associated with that product and updates the persisted fabric’s data.

To unpersist a product, from the HAFM main window:

1. Right-click the product in the Physical Map or Product List, and then select Unpersist Fabric.

A confirmation box is displayed.

2. Click OK.

Interpreting status

There are various ways to determine the status of persisted fabrics and products. Real-time changes to the fabric display on the Physical Map and the Product List and are listed in the fabric log.

Persisted fabric status

The green circle indicator on the fabric icon on the Physical Map and in the Product List shows the fabric is persisted (Figure 53).

Figure 53 Persisted fabric icon on Physical Map

The Fabric Log lists changes to the persisted fabric. For details about the fabric log, see ”Monitoring

events” on page 101.

Product status

When you add a product to a persisted fabric, is displayed with a plus (+) icon (Figure 54).

Figure 54 Product added to persisted fabric

When you remove a product from a persisted fabric, it is displayed as a ghost image with a minus (-) icon (Figure 55). To find a product that is removed from a persisted fabric, right-click the ghost image, and then select Find Product. The corresponding online item is displayed.

Figure 55 Product removed from persisted fabric

Connection status

If more than one connection exists between products, the Physical Map shows connection status as follows:

HA-Fabric Manager user guide 97

• If all connections are enabled, they display as black lines.

• If all connections are disabled, they display as yellow dashed lines.

• If one or some of the connections are disabled (but not all), the enabled connections display as

black lines and the disabled connections display as yellow, dashed lines with an interswitch link (ISL) alert (Figure 56).

Figure 56 Removed connection in a persisted fabric

Clear ISLs from the Physical Map as follows:

• To clear an ISL alert, right-click the ISL icon and select Clear ISL Alerts.

• To clear all ISL alerts, select Edit > Clear All ISL Alerts.

Changing persisted fabrics

When you merge two persisted fabrics, the fabric whose principal switch is also the principal switch in the merged fabric becomes the real fabric. It includes the switches of both fabrics in the Physical Map and the Product List. The other fabric becomes a ghost fabric.

On the Physical Map, the ghost fabric shows its original products with minus symbols (Figure 55). On the Product List, the ghost fabric is shown as offline without products. The fabric log resets after the fabrics merge.

When you split merged fabrics, the fabric that includes the principal switch becomes the persisted fabric.

When you move a product in a persisted fabric’s topology, the new location is stored on the client. If the updated fabric is not persisted, users logged in from a different client can show an invalid layout.

Configuring trap forwarding

Trap forwarding enables you to configure the application to send SNMP traps to other computers. To configure trap reporting, you must configure the target computer’s IP address and SNMP ports:

1. Select Monitor > Trap Forwarding.
