Introduction and General Information Managing Remote Access to the HAFM Server Users at the HAFM server can open the HAFM and Product Managers loaded on the server itself. Users at remote PC workstations can also access the same HAFM server or other HAFM servers if the workstations meet minimum hardware and software requirements and are running the HAFM application. Workstations must also be configured to connect with the HAFM server over a TCP/IP network connection. Figure 1 on page 27 illustrates a remote user workstation connected to the HAFM server through a LAN. Please note that this is an example configuration only. Operators at remote workstations can manage and monitor all products controlled by the HAFM server. Each active connection between a remote workstation and an HAFM server and managed products is called a session. A maximum of nine concurrent remote users (eight remote and one local HAFM server user) can log in to the HAFM application. Requirements for Remote Workstations The HAFM is downloaded and installed on user workstations from the HAFM server. The remote workstations can be Windows® 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, or Solaris systems. For the minimum system requirements for remote workstations, refer to the appendix in this guide for the appropriate operating system: ■ Appendix B for Windows. ■ Appendix C for Solaris. ■ Appendix D for HP-UX, AIX, and Linux. Installing Software on Remote Workstations For procedures to install HAFM software on remote user workstations and configure the workstations for connection to an HAFM server, refer to the appendix in this guide for the appropriate operating system. ■ Appendix B for Windows. ■ Appendix C for Solaris. ■ Appendix D for HP-UX, AIX, and Linux. 32 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
