Physical Planning Considerations HAFM Server Connectivity The HAFM server provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface that connects to a hub. Each director CTP card or switch front panel also provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface that connects to a hub. A 12-port hub can be ordered from HP and installed at the top front of the equipment rack. Although directors provide two Ethernet connections to a hub, only one connection is active at a time. The interface on the backup CTP card remains passive until a failure on the active CTP card occurs, at which point the redundant CTP card becomes active using the same media access control (MAC) address as the original interface. If an optional private intranet is to be used for LAN connections, an optional Ethernet adapter card (not supplied by HP) can be installed in the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) slot in the HAFM server to provide a connection to a private LAN segment for dedicated director communication. The HAFM server uses a modem connection for service and support of managed products. The modem provides a dial-in capability that allows HP-authorized service personnel to communicate with the HAFM server and operate the HAFM and Product Manager applications remotely. The modem is also used to automatically dial out to an authorized support center (to report the occurrence of significant system events) using a call-home feature. The call-home feature is enabled in the Product Manager application and configured through the dial-up networking feature of Windows 2000. For directors and switches installed in some legacy environments, call-home notification requires installation of HP Proactive Service software. This service is offered at no additional charge for subsystems covered under an on-site warranty or on-site storage hardware support contract. To register or order Proactive Service software, contact your HP customer service representative. SAN High Availability Planning Guide 123
