Product Manager Overview

This chapter provides an introduction and overview of the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 Product Manager and Director 2/140 Product Manager. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available through the main Product Manager window.

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 embedded in the director firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application, and supports director configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation. (The EWS online help provides additional 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.

director product manager user guide 1–1

Page 20

Product Manager Overview

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.

This guide provides details on the Product Manager applications for the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and Director 2/140.

HAFM Management Menu Options

This user’s guide provides information on the StorageWorks Director 2/64 Product Manager and Director 2/140 Product Manager application only. Information on the HAFM application is provided in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide.

Following are lists of options available on the menu bar in the applications. References are provided to the correct publication for detailed information on these options.

Product Manager Overview

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 a 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.

• 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.

• Configure port address configurations (S/390 mode only).

• Configure the FICON and Open Systems Management Server features if installed.

Backing Up and Restoring Product Manager Data

As long as a Zip disk remains in the Zip drive of the HAFM server, critical information from both the Product Manager and HAFM applications automatically backs up to the Zip disk when the data directory contents change or when you reboot the HAFM server.

The application used for this function is Iomega QuikSync, a separate application installed on the HAFM server. QuikSync is configured to automatically mirror the contents of the HafmData directory to the Zip 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.

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

The data contained in the c:\HafmData directory and mirrored to the Zip disk includes the following:

• All HAFM application configuration including: — Product definitions. — User names, encrypted passwords, and user rights. —Nicknames. — Session options. — HAFM application SNMP configurations. — E-mail configuration.

1–40 director product manager user guide

Page 59

Product Manager Overview

• All log files (both HAFM application log files and individual Product Manager log

files).

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

• Firmware library.

• 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 QuikSync application will not back up certain Windows configuration information and files that need to be reconfigured on a newly restored HAFM server, which includes the following:

• Windows user names and passwords.

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

names.)

The QuikSync application will be included on the HAFM applications CD. It automatically installs on the HAFM server during the HAFM server install process. A blank Zip disk is required for each HAFM server and is included with the HAFM server deliverables.

For more information on using QuikSync refer to the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide.

Restoring Data to the HAFM Server

To restore data to the HAFM server, copy the HafmData directory from the Zip disk to c:\HafmData.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

This chapter describes how to use the features available in the Product Manager main panel to monitor and manage director operation. These features include status indicators, menu options, and dialog boxes available through the Hardware View, Port List View, FRU List View, Node List View, and Performance View.

Hardware View

The Hardware View is the default view that is shown when you open the Product Manager. If another view displays, you can display the Hardware View by choosing the Hardware View tabs. Using this graphical view of the director, you can view status symbols and simulated light emitting diode (LED) indicators, display data, and use mouse functions to monitor status and obtain vital product information for the director and its hardware components.

Identifying FRUs

Move the cursor over parts of the director graphic in the Hardware View to display labels identifying each hardware component and its slot position in the chassis relative to identical components installed in the director. Components include:

• Port cards.

— The Director 2/64 contains up to 16 port cards, slot positions 15 through 0

(left to right).

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

to three additional port cards in the rear.

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 2–28 for details.

director product manager user guide 2–1

Page 62

Monitoring and Managing the Director

• Control processor (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).

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

right).

• Serial Crossbars (SBAR). — 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

(top).

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.

Status

Refer to Table 2–1 for the meaning of the text that displays in the Director Status table and the corresponding status symbols that display on the status bar.

2–2 director product manager user guide

Page 63

Monitoring and Managing the Director

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 5–4 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 5–4 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.

• 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.

director product manager user guide 2–3

Page 64

Monitoring and Managing the Director

• 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 mistyped 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.

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 “View Tabs” on page 1–23 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.

• 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 2–15).

• 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 on components to display Properties dialog boxes.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

— 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 Operating

Parameters” on page 3–6 for more information.

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

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

Parameters” on page 3–2 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 principle 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 3–9 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. — 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 running.

director product manager user guide 2–19

Page 80

Monitoring and Managing the Director

— 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 timeframe.

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 Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. Note that a port could also be inactive if the card is an FPM card and the port data speed was set to 2 Gb/sec. To activate the port in this case, set director data speed to 1 Gb/sec, or replace the FPM card with a UPM card.

NOTE: Your director model and firmware may not allow variable data speed settings.

• Threshold Alert—If a threshold alert exists for the port, an alert indicator (yellow

triangle) displays by the Threshold Alert field, and the configured name for the last alert received displays in the field.

Bar Graph Display

The Performance View provides a graphical display of performance for all ports. Each bar graph in the upper portion of the view panel displays the level of transmit/receive activity for the port. This information updates every five seconds. Each bar graph shows the percentage of link utilization for the port. A red arrow marks the highest utilization since the opening of the Performance View. If the system detects activity on a port, it represents minimal activity with one bar.

2–36 director product manager user guide

Page 97

When a port is logged in, moving the cursor over its bar graph displays a message with the attached port’s WWN. If the port is an E_Port, the message reads, E_Port and if the port is not logged in, the message displays the port’s current operational state (refer to Table 2–1).

Port Statistics

To choose and display more detailed performance information for a port, click the port’s bar graph. The bar graph for that port highlights with a darker background, and the lower portion of the Performance View panel displays the statistics values for the port’s number and the WWN decoding. The Statistics Values tables contain cumulative port statistics and error statistics for transmit and receive traffic, class 2 and class 3 statistics, operational statistics, and error categories. Click a category in the left side of the statistics area to display only statistics for that category or click All to display values for all categories. For a description of the Refresh and Clear buttons, refer to “Button Functions” on page 2–41.

NOTE: There are not thresholds for these values. You may determine that a problem exists by the rate that the value changes. For example, BB_Credit starvation can occur if data is sent to a device faster than it can consume the frames. This can back up into ISLs causing degraded performance.

Monitoring and Managing the Director

Statistics Description

The Statistics Values tables contain statistics in the following groups. To refresh tables with the latest data, click Refresh on the upper right portion of the Statistics Val ue s panel or click the port’s bar graph. Clear all counters for all users using Clear.

Traffic Statistics with Receive and Transmit Values

This section describes the types of statistics that display when you click a port’s bar graph:

• Link utilization %—There is a separate value for transmit and receive link

utilization. The larger of these two values displays on the bar graph. The current link utilization for the port is expressed as a percentage. Each port can transmit or receive data at 200 megabytes (MB) per second. This statistic shows the percentage of the maximum link utilization currently being used. Link utilization is calculated over one-second intervals. The maximum link utilization is 100%.

• Frames—The number of frames that the port has received or transmitted.

• Four byte words—The number of words that the port has received or transmitted.

director product manager user guide 2–37

Page 98

Monitoring and Managing the Director

Class 2 Statistics

The Class 2 Statistics table includes:

• Received Frames—The number of Class 2 frames received by this F_Port from its attached N_Port.

• Transmitted Frames—The number of Class 2 frames transmitted by this F_Port to its attached N_Port.

• Busied Frames—The number of F_BSY frames generated by this F_Port against Class 2 frames. This can occur if frames are received before the switch completes initialization or if the switch is servicing so many requests that it cannot process a new request. The port generates frames if the switch is not ready to accept commands. This may indicate temporary congestion.

• Rejected Frames—The number of F_RJT frames generated by this F_Port against Class 2 frames. These frames usually occur because of attached device errors. The device is expected to correct the error based on the reject code, then retry its request. If the device is able to recover, there is no cause for concern. If not, further troubleshooting may be necessary. There are no thresholds for this value. Typically, this occurs because the destination is not available due to the device’s action.

• Four Byte Words Received—The number of four-byte words received.

• Four Byte Words Transmitted—The number of four-byte words transmitted.

Class 3 Statistics

The Class 3 Statistics table includes:

• Received Frames—The number of Class 3 frames received by this F_Port from its attached N_Port.

• Transmitted Frames—The number of Class 3 frames transmitted by this F_Port to its attached N_Port.

• Discarded Frames—The number of Class 3 frames discarded, including multicast frames with bad D_IDs. The director increments this count when it discards a frame that cannot be routed. This occurs most frequently when a destination becomes unavailable without the source realizing the destination is unavailable. There are no thresholds for this value. Typically, this occurs when the destination is not available due to the destination device’s action.

• Four Byte Words Received—The number of four-byte words received.

• Four Byte Words Transmitted—The number of four-byte words transmitted.

Error Statistics

Port errors indicate that a port is not operating correctly. Use this data to isolate problems with port and link operations. The statistics in this table include:

• Link failures—A link failure was recorded in response to a not operational

sequence (NOS), protocol timeout, or port failure. At the Port Card View, a yellow triangle displays to indicate a link incident, or a blinking red and yellow diamond displays to indicate a port failure.

• Sync losses—A loss of synchronization was detected because the attached device

was reset or disconnected from the port. At the Port Card View, a yellow triangle displays to indicate a link incident.

• Signal losses—A loss of signal was detected because the attached device was

reset or disconnected from the port. At the Port Card View, a yellow triangle displays to indicate a link incident.

• Primitive sequence errors—An incorrect primitive sequence was received from

the attached device, indicating a Fibre Channel link-level protocol violation. At the Port Card View, a yellow triangle displays to indicate a link incident.

• Discarded frames—A received frame could not be routed and was discarded

because the frame timed out (insufficient buffer-to-buffer credit) or the destination device was not logged into the director.

• Invalid transmission words—The number of times that the director detected

invalid transmission words from the attached device. This indicates that a frame or primitive sequence arrived at the director’s port corrupted. This corruption can be due to the attached device performing a reset, plugging or unplugging the link, bad optics at either end of the cable, bad cable, or a dirty or poor connection. Moving the connection around or replacing cables can isolate the problem.

Some number of invalid transmission words are expected and acceptable. Invalid transmission words within a frame are used to produce the bit-error threshold link incident. If one or more invalid transmission words are detected in 12 separate

1.5-second samples within five minutes, a bit-error threshold link incident is generated.

• CRC errors—A received frame failed a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)

validation, indicating the frame arrived at the director’s port corrupted. Frame corruption may be caused by device disconnection, an optical transceiver failure at the device, a bad fiber-optic cable, or a poor cable connection.

director product manager user guide 2–39

Page 100

Monitoring and Managing the Director

• Delimiter errors—The number of times that the director detected an unrecognized start-of-frame (SOF) delimiter, an unrecognized end-of-frame (EOF) delimiter, or an invalid class of service. This indicates that the frame arrived at the director’s port corrupted. This corruption can be due to plugging/unplugging the link, bad optics at either end of the cable, bad cable, or dirty or poor connections. Moving the connection around or replacing cables can isolate the problem.

• Address ID errors—A received frame had an unavailable or invalid Fibre Channel destination address, or an invalid Fibre Channel source address. This typically indicates the destination device is unavailable.

• Frames too short—A received frame exceeded the Fibre Channel frame maximum size or was less than the Fibre Channel minimum size, indicating the frame arrived at the director’s port corrupted. Frame corruption may be caused by device disconnection, an optical transceiver failure at the device, a bad fiber-optic cable, or a poor cable connection.

Operational Statistics

The following describes the Operational Statistics that display for a selected port

• Offline sequences—The number of offline sequence that the port has received or transmitted.

• Link resets—The number of link reset protocol frames received/transmitted by this port from/to the attached device. The director transmits a link reset to initiate the link reset protocol or recover from a link timeout. This occurs normally to establish BB_Credit or on any port in order to recover lost BB_Credit. The director receives a link reset from an attached device if the device wishes to initiate the link reset or recover from a link timeout.

Troubleshooting Tips

As a general rule, you should clear all counts after the system is stabilized. When looking at the Performance View, roughly keep track of the time interval when errors accumulate to judge the presence and severity of a problem. Also, recognize that there is a link recovery hierarchy implemented in Fibre Channel to handle some level of “expected anomalies.” In general, only be concerned with error counts that increment very quickly.
