Product Manager Overview Product Manager Description The Product Manager for the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 has a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual directors and their field-replaceable units (FRUs). In contrast to the Product Manager, the HAFM enables administrators to monitor operational status for all products and Fibre Channel fabrics managed by a HAFM server. The HAFM application also provides tools to administer user and product access to the HAFM application 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. Using the Product Manager, you can: • Back up and restore configuration data. • Clear the system error indicator. • Configure extended distance buffering for ports. • Configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the director such as BB_Credit, R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, preferred domain ID, insistent domain ID, domain RSCNs, switch priority, director speed (Director 2/64 only), and rerouting delay. • Configure individual ports with a port name describing the node attached to the port. • Configure LIN alerts. • Configure interoperability mode for multiswitch fabrics. • Configure a nickname to display instead of WWN for the director and for attached node devices. • Configure port binding. • Configure port address configurations (S/390 mode only). • Configure the FICON and Open Systems Management Server features if installed. • Configure Switch Binding if optional SANtegrity feature is installed. • Configure the operating mode between open systems and S/390 functions. 1-8 director product manager user guide
