Introduction
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).
In addition, EWS provides hyperlink access to other products in a fabric, which
means those products can also be managed.
18Embedded Web Server User Guide
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.
— 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.
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.
Introduction
— Zones and zone sets.
— User rights (administrator and operator).
— Port binding, switch binding, fabric binding, and Enterprise Fabric
Management.er rights (administrator and operator).
■Monitor ports and port statistics and display the event log and node list.
■Perform product operations and maintenance tasks, including:
— Enable unit beaconing, turn off the system error light, 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.
19Embedded Web Server User Guide
Introduction
— 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.
20Embedded Web Server User Guide
Viewing the User Interface
When the EWS interface opens, the default display is the View page. Figure 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.

views available on the screen. The navigation panel options include:
— View — At the View page, the Director or Switch (default), Port
Properties, FRU Properties, Unit Properties, Operating Parameters,
and Fabric task selection tabs display.
— Configure — At the Configure page, the Ports (default), Director or
Switch, Management, Zoning, and User Rights task selection tabs
display.
— Monitor — At the Monitor page, the Port List (default), Port Stats,
Log, and Node List task selection tabs display.
21Embedded Web Server User Guide
Introduction
— Operations — At the Operations page, the Director or Switch (default),
Port, Maintenance, and Feature Installation task selection tabs display.
— Help — The Help option opens online user documentation that supports
the EWS interface. This manual supplements the online help that is
included with the EWS interface.
■Page — Describes the entire screen except the navigation panel. When you
choose an item from the navigation panel, the corresponding page view
displays. For example, choose Configure from the navigation panel to view
the Configure page.
■Ta b — Describes a label for a viewing option on a page, such as the Switch
and Identification tabs shown in Figure 1. Task selection tabs display at the
top of the page. The task selection tabs allow users to perform director- or
switch-specific tasks.
■Tab v iew — Describes the fields, buttons, and labels that display when you
click a tab. The tab view contains the information you are trying to access and
activities that you can complete.
■Date and Time — Specifies the time when the information shown on the
page view was last updated.
22Embedded Web Server User Guide
Benefits
Introduction
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.)
■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.

Introduction
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.
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.
24Embedded Web Server User Guide
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. You can obtain this
book from the Hewlett-Packard web site
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 web site
(
http://www.hp.com
(

).
25Embedded Web Server User Guide
Introduction
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 “Configuring the Product” on page 29.
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 “Configuring
Zones” on page 81
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 “Viewing Product and Fabric Data” on page 99,
“Monitoring Products” on page 117, and “Operating and Managing Products and
Parts” on page 135.
If you need to perform troubleshooting, then you will want to review “Monitoring
Products” on page 117 and “Operating and Managing Products and Parts” on
page 135.
