Offline control processor diagnostics and remote diagnostics simplify troubleshooting. The standby control processor continuously runs diagnostics to ensure it is operational, should a failover be necessary. • I2C monitoring and control, used between Integrated Circuits (IC) to monitor how they are working Serviceability The Core Switch 2/64 and the SAN Director 2/128 provide the following features to enhance and ensure serviceability: • Modular design with hot-swappable components • Redundant flash memory that stores two firmware images per control processor • Extensive diagnostics and status reporting, along with a serial port to support an external, country-specific modem for remote diagnostics and status monitoring • Nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), containing the HP serial number, manufacturer's serial number, revision information, and part number information • Background health-check daemon • Memory scrubber, self test, and bus ping to determine if a bus is not functioning • Watchdog timers • Status LEDs • Predictive diagnostics analysis through Fabric Watch • SNMP integration with higher-layer managers Optional management features Refer to the HP StorageWorks release notes for the Fabric OS running on your switch to get a complete list of management and optional software features enabled on the switch.
