Product Manager Overview

This chapter is an introduction and overview of the hp StorageWorks edge switch 2/16 Product Manager application. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available through the main Product Manager window.

Managing the StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/16

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

• The Product Manager application installed on an HAFM server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager (HAFM) application. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.

• The Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an internet connection to the switch, you can monitor and manage the switch through the web server interface embedded in the switch firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application, and supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.

To launch the web server interface, enter the switch’s IP address as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a user name and password at a the login screen. The browser then becomes a management console. Refer to the web server interface online help 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.”

• 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 switch. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of 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 director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32 (A6534-96027/AA-RQ7AB-TE).

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 1–1

Product Manager Overview

• Management using simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the SDCM application that allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to access switch management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.

This manual provides details on the Product Manager application for the edge switch 2/16 only. This manual does not cover the Embedded Web Server Interface.

Management Menu Options

This user’s guide provides information on the edge switch 2/16 Product Manager application only. Information on the HAFM application is provided in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE). Following are lists of options available under menus in all applications. References are provided to the correct publication for detailed information on these options.

HAFM

Following are options available through the HAFM. For more information, refer to Chapter 3 of the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE).

Product Manager Description

The Product Manager for the switch is a Java-based graphical user interfaces (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual switches and their field-replaceable units (FRUs). Although the Product Manager is accessed from the HAFM application, it is a separate application.

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 also provides tools to administer user and product access to the HAFM and Product Manager. Refer to the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user

guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE)

Product Manager Overview

The Product Manager provides graphical views of switch 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 switch on your network.

Access the switch Product Manager by double-clicking any switch product icon on the HAFM’s Products View or the Top olo gy tab of the Fabrics View.

You can install the HAFM and Product Manager applications on remote workstations, as shown in Figure 1–1, using any standard web browser. For instructions, refer to the appendix in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE) that pertains to the operating system of your workstation.

Using the Product Manager

This section provides a general overview of the Product Manager and its functions. For details on performing specific tasks and using specific dialog boxes, refer to the appropriate chapters in this manual.

Keyboard Navigation

Use standard keyboard navigation in dialog boxes. For example, use the Tab , arrow, and backspace keys to move through dialog box fields and the Enter key to perform default button functions.

Using Dialog Boxes

Buttons such as OK, Activate and Close or Cancel initiate functions in a dialog box. There is a 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, unless there is a Close button in which case, Activate saves the information without closing the 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.

Product Manager Overview

— Name - Assign a product name. Note that you can set this name as the

nickname for the switch’s WWN, using the Set Name as Nickname checkbox.

The nickname then displays instead of the WWN in Product Manager views. — Description - Assign a unique product description. — Location - Describe the product’s location. — Contact - Assign a contact either by name, phone number, or e-mail address.

NOTE: This information displays in the identification table at the top of the Hardware View and in the HAFM Product View, if the Product View is configured to display names.

Operating Mode

NOTE: The switch must be offline before you change operating modes.

Select this option to display the Configure Operating Mode dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure either S/390 or open systems mode, as well as interoperability mode options. Open system or S/390 modes allow you to use Product Manager menu options, dialog boxes, and features that are the most useful when attaching to either IBM S/390 Enterprise servers or open systems devices. If you enable open systems mode, you can then select the appropriate interoperability mode to work with the multiswitch fabric. Refer to Configure

Operating Mode on page 3-2 for instructions.

NOTE: If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default mode will be S/390. You can only enable one Management Server feature at a time, either FICON Management Server or Open Systems Management server.

Operating Parameters

Select this option to display the Configure Operating Parameters dialog box for setting Fibre Channel operating parameters. In this dialog box, you can set buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) from 1 to 60 (default is 16). You can also set the resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) and error detect time-out value (E_D_TOV) in tenth-of-a-second increments, as well as other fabric operating parameters, such as preferred domain ID (1 to 31) and switch priority level (Principal, Default, or Never Principal). You must take the switch offline through the Set Online State dialog box to configure these parameters. In addition, you can also enable the rerouting delay feature. Refer to Configure Operating

Parameters on page 3-4 for more information on configuring the switch priority

and rerouting delay.
