1 Element Manager overview

This chapter is an introduction to the Element Manager that is used to manage the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 and Edge Switch 2/32. It is intended as a quick reference for features available through the main Element Manager window of the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) application.

Edge Switch Element Manager user guide 15

Managing the edge switch

You can manage an edge switch through several different interfaces. These interfaces are as follows:

• The Element Manager and HAFM

Installed on HAFM appliance shipped from the factory or supplied by the customer. (You access the Element Manager through the HAFM application.)

• Embedded Web Server (EWS)

Using a browser-capable PC with an Internet connection to the switch, you can monitor and manage the switch through the EWS interface embedded in the switch firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Element Manager and supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.

To launch the EWS interface:

1. Enter the director’s IP address as the Internet Uniform Resource Locator (URL) into any standard

browser.

2. Enter a user name and password at the login screen. The browser then becomes a management

console. (Refer to the Embedded Web Server interface online help or the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server user guide for details on use.)

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.”

• Command Line Interface (CLI).

The CLI allows you to access many HAFM application and Element Manager functions while entering commands during a Telnet session with the switch. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of many switches 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 for more information.

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element Manager. It allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to access product management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. Refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for Directors and Edge Switches for more information.

This manual provides details on the Element Manager for the Edge Switch 2/24 and Edge Switch 2/32 only. This manual does not cover the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface.

Element Manager overview16

Element manager description

The Element Manager for Edge Switch products is a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual switches and their field-replaceable units (FRUs).

The Element Manager provides graphical views of switch hardware components and displays of component status. By positioning the mouse pointer 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 switches on your network.

The server software for the HAFM and Element Manager comes installed on the HAFM appliance.

You can install the HAFM and Element Manager clients on remote computer systems, as shown

Figure 1 on page 17. For instructions, refer to the section in HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager

user guide that pertains to the operating system of your computer.

When the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check box is checked, the Date and Time fields are grayed out (disabled), and the switch date and time are periodically synchronized with the HAFM appliance date and time. If the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check box is not checked, you can set the date and time in the dialog box fields manually.

Threshold alerts

Select this option to configure threshold alerts for ports. A threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific switch ports or port types (E_Ports F_Ports, or FL_Ports).

Element Manager overview24

Using this option, you can configure:

• A name for the alert.

• A threshold type for the alert (Rx, Tx, or both).

• Active or inactive state of the alert.

• Threshold criteria. This includes configuring the threshold as the percent of port traffic capacity

utilized (% utilization). You must also configure the time interval during which the throughput is measured, and the maximum cumulative time that the throughput percentage threshold can be exceeded during this time interval before an alert is generated.

Open trunking

Select this option to enable the optional Open Trunking feature. This feature monitors the average data rates of all traffic flows on ISLs (from a receive port to a target domain). It also periodically adjusts routing tables to reroute data flows from congested links to lightly loaded links and optimize bandwidth use.

Hardware View

The Hardware View is the default view that displays in the View panel the first time you open a switch’s Element Manager. To return to this view from another view, click the Hardware tab. See

Figure 4 for an example of this view.

Figure 4 Hardware View

In the Hardware View, colored indicators reflect the status of actual LEDs on the switch FRUs. The status bar displays a symbol to represent the most degraded status currently reported by any of the switch FRUs. For example, for a port failure, indicated by a blinking red and yellow diamond on a port, a yellow triangle displays on the status bar to indicate a degraded condition. However, if a blinking red and yellow diamond displays over both power supplies, the status bar displays a red and yellow diamond, which indicates a failure requiring immediate attention.

For an explanation of the different status symbols and the reasons they display in the Hardware View or Port List View, see the table under ”Monitoring hardware operation” on page 47.
