Product Management HAFM Server Description The HAFM server is a notebook personal computer (PC) that provides a central point of control for up to 48 LAN-connected directors or switches. However, note that the maximum number of switches per storage area network (SAN) fabric is different. For the latest supported topology limits, contact your local HP sales representative or refer to http://h18006.ww1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html The server is mounted in a slide-out drawer in the equipment rack. The server or Ethernet access to the EWS application is required to install, configure, and manage a director or switch. Although a director or switch operates normally without an HAFM server, the server should operate at all times to monitor product operation, log events and configuration changes, and report failures. Figure 14 illustrates the HAFM server. Figure 14: HAFM Server The HAFM server is dedicated to operation of the HAFM and Product Manager applications for the following products: Director 2/64, Director 2/140, Edge Switch 2/16, Edge Switch 2/24, and Edge Switch 2/32. The applications provide a GUI and management services, and implement Web and other server functions. Refer to "Graphical User Interface" on page 48 for additional information about the applications.
