Element Manager Overview 1 This chapter is an introduction to the Element Manager that is used to manage the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 and Edge Switch 2/32. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available through the main Element Manager window of the High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) application.
Element Manager Overview Feature Keys Feature keys verify ownership of the Element Manager and optional features that can be purchased for the Element Manager. The feature key, which is encoded with a switch’s serial number, can only be configured on the switch or director to which it is assigned. When you purchase additional Element Manager features, you receive a feature key. The feature keys that you are currently using are included in this key.
Element Manager Overview Managing the Edge Switch You can manage an edge switch through several different interfaces. These interfaces are as follows: ■ The Element Manager and HAFM Installed on HAFM appliance shipped from the factory or supplied by the customer. (You access the Element Manager through the HAFM application.
Element Manager Overview ■ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element Manager. It allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to access product management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.
Element Manager Overview Figure 1: HAFM appliance and remote client configuration (dual Ethernet) Using the Element Manager, you can: ■ Back up and restore configuration data. ■ Clear the system error indicator. ■ Configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the fabric, such as R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, switch priority, and interop mode. You can also configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the switch, such as preferred and insistent domain ID, rerouting delay, and domain RSCNs.
Element Manager Overview 24 ■ Configure a nickname to display instead of the world wide name (WWN) for the switch and attached nodes. ■ Configure Port Binding and port speed. ■ Configure SNMP trap recipients and community names. ■ Configure Switch Binding if the optional SANtegrity Binding feature is installed. ■ Configure Open Trunking if the optional OpenTrunking feature is installed.
Element Manager Overview ■ Run port diagnostics. ■ Set the date and time on the switch. Note: You may perform configuration for some features through both the HAFM and the Element Manager.

Monitoring and Managing the Switch Double-click a row to display the Node Properties dialog box. For an explanation of the fields on the Node Properties dialog box, see “Displaying Node Properties” on page 82. Note: Private loop devices do not log into the fabric and do not provide any additional information other than their Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA) for private loop devices. The Port WWN field displays Not Logged In and the Unit Type field is blank for all private loop devices.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Displaying Node Properties Open the Node Properties dialog box by double-clicking a row in the Node List View or right-clicking a row and clicking Node Properties. Figure 21: Node Properties dialog box The Node Properties dialog box contains the following options: 82 ■ Port Number—The physical port number on the switch to which the node is connected. ■ Node Type—The type of port, as supplied by the attached port.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch ■ Buffer to Buffer Credit—The buffer-to-buffer credits that the attached node has available. These credits determine the maximum number of frames a port can transmit without receiving a receive ready signal from the receiving device. ■ Class of Service—This can be Class 2, Class 3, or both. ■ Data Field Size—The largest size of Fibre Channel frame that the node will process. The size is negotiated with the attached device.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Performance View Display the Performance View by clicking the Performance view tab in the Element Manager window. This view displays a bar graph at the top of the view for each port. The lower portion of the view displays statistical values for the specific port’s bar graph that you select. Figure 22: Performance View Performance View Menu Options Right-click any of the port bar graphs to display a menu with the following port-related action options.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Bar Graph Display The Performance View provides a graphical display of performance for all ports. Each bar graph in the upper portion of the View panel displays the percentage of link utilization for the port. This information updates every five seconds. A red arrow marks the highest utilization since the opening of the Performance View. If the system detects activity on a port, it represents minimal activity with one bar.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Statistics Description The Statistics Values tables contain statistics in the following groups. To refresh tables with the latest data, click the Refresh button on the upper right portion of the Statistics Values panel, or click the port’s bar graph. Clear all counters for all users using the Clear button. Class 2 Statistics The Class 2 Statistics table includes: ■ Received Frames—The number of Class 2 frames received by this port from its attached port.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch ■ Discarded Frames—The number of Class 3 frames discarded, including multicast frames with bad destination identifiers (D_IDs). The switch increments this count when it discards a frame that cannot be routed. This occurs most frequently when a destination becomes unavailable without the source realizing that the destination is unavailable. There are no thresholds for this value.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Some number of invalid transmission words are expected and acceptable. Invalid transmission words within a frame are used to produce the bit-error threshold link incident. If one or more invalid transmission words are detected in 12 separate 1.5-second samples within 5 minutes, a bit-error threshold link incident is generated. ■ CRC errors—A received frame failed a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) validation, indicating that the frame arrived at the switch’s port corrupted.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch ■ Link resets Tx—The number of link reset protocol frames received/transmitted by this port from/to the attached device. The switch transmits a link reset to initiate the link reset protocol or recover from a link timeout. This occurs normally to establish BB_Credit on any port in order to recover lost BB_Credit. ■ LIPS detected—A loop initialization primitive was detected, which means the loop was completed.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Troubleshooting Tips As a general rule, you should clear all counts after the system is stabilized. When looking at the Performance View, roughly keep track of the time interval when errors accumulate to judge the presence and severity of a problem. Also, recognize that there is a link recovery hierarchy implemented in Fibre Channel to handle some level of “expected anomalies.” In general, only be concerned with error counts that increment very quickly.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch FRU List View Display the FRU List in the main panel by clicking the FRU List view tab on the Element Manager window. This view displays information about all installed FRUs on the switch. All data is dynamic and updates automatically as the software detects changes. Figure 23: FRU List View Information on the FRU List View for each FRU includes: ■ FRU Name—Control Processor (CTP), Cooling Fan, and Power Supply Module.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch You can display the FRU Properties dialog box for a specific FRU by using one of the following methods: 92 ■ Double-click on the FRU row. ■ Click a row in the FRU List View and then click Product > FRU > Properties.

On Blinking Yellow Triangle Port is executing an external loopback test. Note: For any loopback test, the amber LED blinks (beacons) to help users locate the port under test.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Link Incident Alerts A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber optic link, like the loss of light, invalid sequences, and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent to the Link Incident Log in the switch Element Manager. LIN alerts warn you that there is a link incident being detected through a port connection that may require operator intervention to correct.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch Threshold Alerts A threshold alert notifies Element Manager users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specific values for switch ports or port types [E_Ports, F_Ports, or FL_Ports (Edge Switch 2/24 only)]. Click Configure > Threshold Alerts to display the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure criteria for generating a threshold alert.
Monitoring and Managing the Switch 98 Edge Switch Element Manager User Guide
Configuring the Switch 3 This chapter describes how to configure the Edge Switch 2/24 or Edge Switch 2/32. It also includes information about backing up and restoring configuration data.
Configuring the Switch Configuring Identification Use the procedure in this section to identify the switch by its name, description, location, and contact person. This information displays in the following Element Manager locations: ■ Element Manager window title panel (name). ■ The Switch Properties dialog box (name, location, contact, description). ■ Identification table at the top of the Hardware View (name, location, description).
Configuring the Switch 5. Click in the Location field and enter the location of the switch of up to 255 characters. 6. Click in the Contact field and enter up to 255 characters of appropriate information about a contact person, such as a phone number, title, or e-mail address. 7. Click Activate to save the data and close the dialog box. 8. If you are finished configuring the switch, back up the configuration data. For more information, see “Backup and Restore Configuration” on page 168.
Configuring the Switch 2. Click Configure > Operating Parameters > Switch Parameters. The Configure Switch Parameters dialog box displays. Figure 25: Configure Switch Parameters dialog box Note: Ordinarily, you do not need to change values in this dialog box from their defaults. The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the switch will participate in a multiswitch fabric. 3.
Configuring the Switch The preferred domain ID must be unique for each switch in a fabric. If two switches have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports segment, causing the fabric to segment. Insistent Click the Insistent check box to remove or add a check mark. The default state is disabled (no check mark). When a check mark displays, the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field will become the active domain identification when the fabric initializes.
Configuring the Switch Domain RSCNs Use this check box to enable domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs). Domain RSCNs are sent between end devices in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters (HBAs) and storage devices. As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been broken because of a physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a port.
Configuring the Switch Configuring Fabric Parameters The Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box enables you to configure the Fibre Channel operating parameters. To set fabric parameters: Note: The switch must be offline to change parameters in this dialog box. If it is not and you activate values in this dialog box, a dialog box displays, prompting you to set the unit offline. Caution: Setting the switch offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections. 1. Set the unit offline: a.
Configuring the Switch 3. Use information under “Fabric Parameters” on page 106 to change settings as required for parameters in this dialog box. 4. After you change settings, click the Activate button. Fabric Parameters Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric. BB_Credit (Edge Switch 2/32 only.) Buffer-to-buffer credit. This variable is used to set the maximum number of frames a port can transmit without receiving a receive ready signal from the receiving device.
Configuring the Switch Switch Priority Setting this value determines the principal switch for the multiswitch fabric. Click either Principal (highest priority), Default, or Never Principal (lowest priority) from the Switch Priority drop-down list. If all switches are set to Principal or Default, the switch with the highest priority and the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch.
Configuring the Switch Interop Mode Choose one of the following modes: ■ Homogeneous Fabric—Choose this mode if the fabric contains only HP directors and switches that are operating in Homogeneous Fabric mode. ■ Open Fabric 1.0—Default. Choose this mode if the fabric contains HP directors and switches, as well as other open-fabric compliant switches. Choose this mode for managing heterogeneous fabrics.
Configuring the Switch Adding a Preferred Path To add a new Preferred Path, use the following steps: Caution: Activation of a new Preferred Path causes a reroute to occur if the Preferred Path is different from the current path. In congested environments, with traffic on the current path, a reroute can cause an out of order frame (OOOF) at the destination device. Reroutes are a natural activity in any Fibre Channel fabric when the network is modified.
Configuring the Switch The Preferred Paths dialog box contains the following columns: Note: Some columns may only display when the FICON Management Style feature has been installed. ■ Source Port—Lists the source port of the Preferred Path. ■ Source Addr—(Only displays when using FICON Management Style.) Lists the source address of the Preferred Path. ■ Exit Port—Lists the exit port of the Preferred Path. ■ Exit Addr—(Only displays when using FICON Management Style.
Configuring the Switch 3. Click the drop-down lists for Source Port, Exit Port, and Destination Domain ID to make your choices. See “Configuring a Preferred Path” on page 108 for more information. Tip: You can also type in an exit port number for future or offline environments. 4. Choose the Enable Preferred Paths check box in the Configure Preferred Paths dialog box to enable the configured preferred paths.
Configuring the Switch Specifying Preferred Path Example Figure 29 on page 113 displays a portion of a more complex SAN. This section provides a description of the activities related to specifying a Preferred Path for that SAN. In this example, we will do the following: ■ Specify a path between the Source Device and Destination Device A, going through Switch1, Switch 2, and Switch 3 (the desired data flow is shown as Data Flow 1). ■ Enter data through port 14. ■ Exit data through port 45.
Configuring the Switch The primary choice for data movement will be from the Source Device in port 14 and out port 45 on Switch 1, in port 11 and out port 21 on Switch 2, and through Switch 3 to either Destination Device A or B.
Configuring the Switch Figure 30: Specifying Preferred Path for Switch 2 The following rules apply when configuring Preferred Paths: ■ The switch’s domain ID must be set to Insistent. ■ Domain IDs must be in the range of 1 through 31. ■ The specified numbers for Source Ports and Exit Ports must be in the range equal to the number of ports for the switch being configured. ■ For any source port, only one path may be defined to each destination domain ID.

Caution: An IPL is not intended for ordinary or casual use and should only be performed if the control processor (CTP) is suspected to be faulty. Do not use this option unless directed by your support representative or if you need to set the CTP.
Using Maintenance Features An IPL initiates the following functions in the switch: ■ Restarts the operational firmware on the CTP card and executes abbreviated power on system tests (POSTs). Then, if no POST errors are encountered, the switch resumes the active role that it had before the IPL. ■ Resets the Ethernet interface on the CTP card, causing the connection to the HAFM appliance to drop momentarily.
Using Maintenance Features Set Online State Use the procedure in this section to display the current switch operating state (offline or online) and change the state as required. See Table 2 on page 48 for more information on the switch operating states. Caution: Before setting the switch offline, warn administrators and users currently operating devices that are attached to the switch that it is going offline and that there will be a disruption of communications.
Using Maintenance Features Manage Firmware Versions Firmware refers to the internal operating code for the switch. You can maintain up to eight firmware versions on the HAFM appliance for downloading to an switch. To use the Firmware Library option to manage firmware versions, follow the steps in the appropriate service manual for your Edge Switch. Enable E-Mail Notification E-mail addresses and the SMTP server address for e-mail notification of switch events must be configured through HAFM.
Using Maintenance Features Backup and Restore Configuration Click Maintenance > Backup & Restore Configuration to save the product configuration stored on the switch to the HAFM appliance hard disk or to restore the product configuration from the HAFM appliance. Only a single copy of the configuration is kept on the HAFM appliance. Backup is primarily for single-CTP systems, such as the Edge Switch 2/24, where a backup is needed to restore to a replacement CTP card.
Using Maintenance Features ■ SNMP configuration (trap recipients, community names, and write authorizations). ■ Zoning configuration (active zone set and default zone state). 2. To back up data, click Backup. 3. When the dialog box displays confirming that the backup is complete, click OK. If the backup fails, a dialog box displays to inform you that the backup to the HAFM appliance failed. Restore Procedure Use the following procedure to restore your product configuration: 1.
Using Maintenance Features Reset Configuration Note: You must have maintenance authorization feature permissions to access this feature. This option resets all configuration data input through options in the Configuration menu, zoning configurations, and switch addressing to factory-default values. Since the current IP address for the switch may not match the factory default address, the Ethernet link between the switch and the HAFM appliance may drop and not reset.
Using Maintenance Features Note: If you have enabled the Full Volatility feature through the switch's maintenance port since the switch was shipped from the factory, this feature will be disabled (factory default) when the configuration is reset. Note: Factory default values may vary, depending on the firmware release installed in your switch. For a list of values, refer to the appropriate service manual for your Edge Switch. 3. Click Reset to reset all configuration data.

Optional Features FICON Management Server Note: The FICON Management Server feature is available only for the Edge Switch 2/32. The FICON Management Server feature is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24. The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that allows host control and inband management of the switch through an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server server attached to a switch port. The server communicates with the switch through a FICON channel.
Optional Features 8. Activate changes and close the dialog box by clicking the Activate button. 9. If you are finished configuring the switch, back up the configuration data. For more information, see “Backing Up and Restoring Configuration Data” on page 147.
Optional Features The drop-down list displays the code pages that are available for configuration. The default code page is United States/Canada 00037.
Optional Features Open Systems Management Server Note: Open Systems Management Server (OSMS) is available only for the Edge Switch 2/32. OSMS is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24. The Open System Management Server (OSMS) is a keyed feature that allows host control and inband management of the director or switch through a management application that resides on an open-systems interconnection (OSI) device. This device is attached to a director or switch port.
Optional Features SANtegrity Features SANtegrity includes a set of features that enhance security in SANs (Storage Area Networks) that contain a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices. Through these features, you can allow or prohibit switch attachment to fabrics and device attachment to switches. These features are enabled by purchasing a feature key, then enabling the key through the Configure Feature Key dialog box.
Optional Features Enable/Disable and Online State Functions In order for Fabric Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional features must be enabled. Also, there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the switch is offline or online.
Optional Features Configuring Switch Binding - Overview To configure Switch Binding, you must first activate the feature using the Switch Binding State Change dialog box while choosing the type of port where you want to restrict connection (connection policy). Possible choices are E_Ports, F_Ports, or all types.
Optional Features Enable/Disable Switch Binding Use the following procedure to enable or disable Switch Binding: 1. Click Configure > Switch Binding > Change State. The Switch Binding State Change dialog box displays. Figure 61: Switch Binding State Change dialog box 2. Perform one of the following steps: — To disable Switch Binding, click Enable Switch Binding to clear the Enable Switch Binding check box, then click Activate. — To enable Switch Binding, click Enable Switch Binding to add a check mark.
Optional Features 5. Edit the Switch Membership List through the Switch Binding Membership List dialog box to add or remove switches and devices that are allowed to connect with the switch.

Click Configure > Switch Binding > Edit Membership List. The Switch Binding Membership List dialog box displays.
Optional Features 2. If nicknames are configured for WWNs through HAFM and you want these to display instead of WWNs in this dialog box, click the Display Options button at the bottom of the dialog box. When the Display Options dialog box displays, click Nickname, then OK. 3. To prohibit connection to a switch port from a WWN currently in the Membership List, click the WWN or nickname in the Membership List, then click the Remove button. The WWN or nickname will move to the Attached Nodes panel.
Optional Features Enable/Disable and Online State Functions For Switch Binding to function, specific operating parameters and optional features must be enabled. Also, there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the director or switch is offline or online. Be aware of the following: ■ Switch Binding can be enabled or disabled whether the switch is offline or online. ■ Enabling Enterprise Fabric Mode automatically enables Switch Binding.
Optional Features Enterprise Fabric Mode Enterprise Fabric Mode is an option available on the Fabrics menu of HAFM if the SANtegrity Binding feature key is installed. This option automatically enables the following features and operating parameters that are necessary in multiswitch Enterprise Fabric environments. Note that there are specific requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the director or switch is offline or online.
Optional Features If Rerouting Delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the E_D_TOV field of the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box (Configure menu). This delay enables frames sent on the old path to exit to their destination before new frames begin traversing the new path. If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled, this option is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled unless the switch is offline.
Optional Features For More Information See “Enable/Disable and Online State Functions” on page 179 for Fabric Binding and “Enable/Disable Switch Binding” on page 181 for Switch Binding. To enable and disable this option, refer to the Enterprise Fabric Mode section of the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide.
