This c hapter is an intro duction and overview of the FC-64 Product Manager. It is intended
as a quick reference for using features available through the main Pro duct Manager
window.
Product Manager
Overview
1
Managing the HP Surestore Director FC-64
Three options are available for managing the FC-64 through a user interface:
• The Product Manager application installed on an HP EFC server. Access to the Product
Manager must be through the HP EFC Manager and Fabric Manager applications. These
applications are installed on the HP EFC server as shipped from the manufacturer.
• The Embedded Web Server interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an internet
connection to the direc to r, 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 applicatio n and supports director c o nfiguration,
statistics monito ring, and basic operation.
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 a the login screen. The browser then becomes a management console.
Refer to the web server interface online help for details on use.
The default user name for the right to view status and o ther information is “operator.”
The default user name for the right to modify co nfiguration 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 yo u to acc ess many HP EFC Manager
and Pro duct Manager func tions while entering commands during a telnet session with
the switch.The primary purpose o f the CLI is to automate management of a large
number of switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interact interface; no checking is
done fo r pre-existing c o nditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks.
Refer to the hp surestore director fc-64 Command Line Interface User’s Guide (A6534-
90909). This guide provides details on the Product Manager application for the HP
surestore director fc-64 only. This guide does not cover the embedded web server
interface.

Product Manager Description
Product Manager
Overview
The Product Manager for the HP Surestore Director FC-64 has a Java-based graphical user
interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management, co nfiguration, and monitoring
functions for individual directors and their field-replaceable units (FRUs). Although the
Product Manager is accessed from the HP Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (EFC) Manager
application, they are separate applications.
In contrast to the Product Manager, the HP EFC Manager enables administrators to
monitor operational status for all products and Fibre Channel fabrics managed by an HP
EFC server. The HP EFC Manager also provides tools to administer user and product
access to the HP EFC Manager 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.
EFC Management Menu Options 7
Access the director Product Manager by clicking a director Product icon on the HP EFC
Manage r’s Product View or the Fabric Manager’s Topology View.
You can install the HP EFC Manager and Product Manager applications on remote
workstations, as shown in Figure 1, using any standard web browser. For instructions,
refer to the appendix in the hp enterprise fabric connectivity manager User’s Guide
(A6575-90901) that pertains to the operating system of your workstatio n.
Install the HP EFC Manager, Fabric Manager, and Product Manager applications on a
customer-supplied server platform, using instructions provided with the applications for
that platform.

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 guide.
Using Dialog Boxes
Buttons such as OK, Activate and Close or Cancel initiate functions in a dialog box. Click a
button to perfo rm its labeled function. Note the difference between the OK and Activate
butto ns. 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. 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.
Keyboard Navigation
Keyboard navigatio n is an alternative to mouse navigation. The Product Manager and HP
EFC Manager support standard keyboard navigation.
