Product Management ■ 128 MB or greater RAM. ■ Video card supporting 256 colors at 800 x 600 pixel resolution. ■ Ethernet network adapter. ■ Java-enabled Internet browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (Version 4.0 or later) or Netscape Navigator (Version 4.0 or later). Product Firmware Director or edge switch firmware provides services that manage and maintain Fibre Channel connections between ports. Although the product hardware transmits Fibre Channel frames between source and destination ports, the firmware maintains routing tables required by the hardware to perform these switching functions. Product firmware also provides functions for system configuration, control, maintenance, and redundancy management, including: ■ System Management Services - This function configures, controls, and monitors director and switch operation. The subsystem: - Centrally manages all configuration and status information. - Manages network connections from the HAFM server. - Implements a simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent to allow access by external SNMP managers using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element management information base (MIB), standard Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition, or product-specific MIB. ■ Fabric Services - This function supports the fabric controller (login server) and name server. For the director, fabric services also implements a replication manager that synchronizes node port (N_Port) registration databases between redundant control processor (CTP) cards and allows transparent CTP failover. ■ Fibre Port Services - This function provides a physical driver for hardware components, including: - Director 2/64 universal port module (UPM) cards and serial crossbar (SBAR) assemblies. - Edge Switch 2/16 and Edge Switch 2/32 fiber-optic ports. ■ Fibre Channel Protocol Services - This function provides the Fibre Channel transport logic that allows upper layer protocols used by fabric services to communicate with devices attached to fiber-optic ports. 44 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
