1 Product Manager Overview This chapter provides an introduction and overview of the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 Product Manager and Director 2/140 Product Manager. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available through the main Product Manager window. Managing the StorageWorks Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 Three options are available for managing the director through a user interface: • The Product Manager application installed on a StorageWorks High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the HAFM. The HAFM and Product Manager applications are installed on the HAFM server. The Product Manager application installs automatically with the HAFM on remote workstations using any standard web browser. For instructions, refer to the appropriate appendix that pertains to the operating system for your workstation in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide. • The Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an internet connection to the director, 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 application, and supports director configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation. (The EWS online help provides additional information regarding zoning, zone sets, and SAN management.) 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 the HAFM Login dialog box. The browser then becomes a management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details on use. Refer to the hp StorageWorks embedded web server user guide for more details on the Embedded Web Server. director product manager user guide 1-1
