About this Guide 16 Embedded Web Server User Guide
Introduction 1 This chapter provides an overview of the EWS and describes its user interface.
Introduction Overview The Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), based on HTML, that enables the user to administer products, monitor products and ports, and perform tasks to manage a simple Storage Area Network (SAN). You can also use EWS to perform troubleshooting tasks and upgrade product firmware. With product firmware 04.00.
Introduction Using EWS to Perform Tasks Users can perform the following tasks using EWS: ■ Display the properties and operational status of the product, FRUs, and Fibre Channel ports; display product operating parameters; and display fabric parameters. ■ Configure the director or edge switch, including: — Fibre Channel port parameters, port types, and data transmission speeds. — Product identification, date and time, operating domain parameters, fabric parameters, and network addresses.
Introduction — Control product ports on an individual basis. — Troubleshoot problems using event log and error status indicators. Administrators and operators can access real-time information about the product and fabric. The EWS interface can be opened from a standard web browser running Netscape Navigator 4.6 or higher or Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the web browser, the user enters the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL).
Introduction Viewing the User Interface When the EWS interface opens, the default display is the View page. Figure 1 shows an example EWS view with labels for the various parts of the image. This example shows the Configure > Switch > Identification screen for the Edge Switch 2/24. For other products, the corresponding page looks very similar.
Introduction — Operations — At the Operations page, the Director or Switch (default), Port, Maintenance, and Feature Installation task selection tabs display. — Help — The Help option opens online user documentation that supports the EWS interface. This manual supplements the online help that is included with the EWS interface. 22 ■ Page — Describes the entire screen except the navigation panel. When you choose an item from the navigation panel, the corresponding page view displays.
Introduction Benefits The EWS interface provides the following benefits: ■ Enables a single product to be managed from a single point of access. ■ Allows an administrator to manage a product from any location (such as their office, a raised floor area, or a conference room) within the company’s public/private networks. ■ Enables an administrator to view the most current information about a product upon accessing the product.
Introduction Key Terms This section provides key terms that will help you perform tasks, especially tasks such as zoning. Fabric Entity that interconnects N_Ports and is capable of routing (switching) Fibre Channel frames using the destination ID information in the Fibre Channel frame header accompanying the frames.
Introduction Suggested Reading A book that can help you to prepare to install products and configure a SAN is the HP StorageWorks SAN High Availability Planning Guide. You can obtain this book from the Hewlett-Packard web site (http://www.hp.com) or from the CD shipped with the Hewlett-Packard product you purchased. Another publication you may want to read is Compaq StorageWorks SAN Switch Zoning Reference Guide, which is a white paper on zoning fundamentals.
Introduction Where to Start Depending upon whether the Hewlett-Packard product you purchased has already been installed, you may need to go to a specific chapter. If the product has not been installed, you should start at “Configuring the Product” on page 29. If the product was installed, then many of the configuration tasks were probably already completed. In that case, you may need to configure a zone.
Introduction Starting EWS Open the EWS interface as follows: 1. Ensure the workstation (or device you use to launch the web browser) and the Ethernet LAN segment containing the product, such as Edge Switch 2/24, are attached and connected through the Internet. Note: You must be able to make a connection between the web browser and the product in order to log in to the product. 2. Launch the web browser application (such as Netscape Navigator, version 4.
Introduction Note: The default user name is available from the installation and service guide that was shipped with the product. The user name and password are case-sensitive. Also, during installation, the default values may have been changed. If defaults have changed, contact your system administrator for the valid user names and passwords.
Configuring the Product 2 This chapter describes how to configure an HP product using the EWS interface. These procedures can be used to configure a product after installation and as changes are needed.
Configuring the Product Factory Default Values HP products on a SAN have preset, default configuration values that were set in the factory. The items that have factory-set default values are: ■ Passwords (customer and maintenance-level) ■ Internet Protocol (IP) address ■ Subnet mask ■ Gateway address The specific default values associated with a particular HP product are documented in the installation and service manual for the product.
Configuring the Product Configuring Ports Perform procedures in this section to configure names and operating characteristics for Fibre Channel ports. To configure one or more ports: 1. If you are going to change the Speed parameter on a Director 2/64, set the product offline as follows: a. Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Operations page displays. b. Click the Online State tab, then click Set Offline. The following message displays: Your operations changes have been successfully activated.
Configuring the Product Figure 4: Configure Ports tab view a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24 alphanumeric characters or less in the associated Name field. Note: When naming ports, you may want to name each port based on the device attached to the port. For example, if the port is attached to an e-mail server, you might name the port email1 server port 2. The important point is to relate the name of the port to the device that is attached to the port. b.
Configuring the Product You can enable extended distance for a port even if it is not an extended distance port. However, enabling extended distance buffering for a port disables the ability of the port to send broadcast traffic. When you choose this option, the port can support up to 60 buffer-to-buffer credits (BB_Credits) to handle link distances up to 100 km. This enables the port to process 2K frames from attached devices. If this option is not enabled, the port uses the BB_Credit value.
Configuring the Product 4. If the product is offline, set the product online as follows: a. Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Operations page displays. b. Click the Online State tab, then click Set Online. The following message message displays: Your operations changes have been successfully activated.
Configuring the Product Configuring Product Identification Perform this procedure to configure the HP product’s name, description, location, and contact person. The Name, Location, and Contact variables configured here correspond respectively to the variables used by SNMP management workstations when obtaining data from managed edge switches or directors. To configure identification: 1. Choose Configure from the navigation panel. Choose the Switch or Director tab, as appropriate.
Configuring the Product c. Type the product’s physical location (255 alphanumeric characters or less) in the Location field. d. Type the name of a contact person (255 alphanumeric characters or less) in the Contact field. 2. Click Activate to save and activate the changes.

Figure 6: Configure Date and Time tab view a. Click the Date fields that require change, and type numbers in the following ranges: — Month (MM): 01 through 12.
Configuring the Product Configuring Operating Parameters Perform this procedure to configure the product’s preferred domain ID, insistent domain ID, rerouting delay, and domain registered state change notifications (RSCN). The product must be set offline to configure the preferred domain ID. To configure parameters: 1. If you are going to set the preferred domain ID, set the product offline as follows: a. Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Operations page displays. b.
Configuring the Product b. At the Insistent Domain ID field, choose Enabled or Disabled. When this parameter is enabled, the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field becomes the active domain identification when the fabric initializes. (The Insistent Domain ID is automatically enabled if the SANtegrity Binding feature is installed.) Note: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding feature) or Fabric Binding is enabled, then Insistent Domain ID must be enabled. c.
Configuring the Product Note: Some older versions of EWS may show the Zoning Configuration Change RSCNs field for this item. The functionality is the same. f. If you are configuring parameters for the Director 2/64, a Switch Speed field is displayed. Choose 1 Gb/sec or 2 Gb/sec. These options specify the speed used on the switch. This field is valid only for the Director 2/64, which is able to run at both speeds. 4. Click Activate to save and activate the changes.
Configuring the Product Configuring Fabric Parameters Perform this procedure to configure the fabric operating parameters, including resource allocation time out value (R_A_TOV), E_D_TOV, switch priority, interop mode, and buffer-to-buffer credit. The product must be set offline. Note: An Edge Switch 2/12 cannot participate in a fabric unless the Fabric Capable feature is enabled. For more information, see the Edge Switch 2/12 Installation Guide. To configure parameters: 1.
Configuring the Product Figure 8: Fabric Parameters tab view a. At the BB_Credit field, type a value between 1 and 60. (This field is not available for the Edge Switch 2/24.) Configure the product to support buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) from 1 through 60. This is the value used for all ports, except those configured for extended distance buffering (10—100 km). The default value is 16.
Configuring the Product Note: If the product is attached to a fabric element, the product and fabric element must be set to the same E_D_TOV value. If the values are not identical, the E_Port connection to the element fails and the product cannot communicate with the fabric. d. Choose from the Switch Priority drop-down list to set the product priority. Available selections are Default, Principal, and Never Principal. The default setting is Default. This value designates the fabric’s principal switch.
Configuring the Product — Open Fabric 1.0 — Choose this option for managing heterogeneous fabrics and if the product is fabric-attached to HP directors or switches and open-fabric compliant switches produced by other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This setting is the default. 4. Click Activate to save and activate the changes. The following message displays: Your changes to the fabric parameters configuration have been successfully activated. 5. Set the product online as follows: a.
Configuring the Product Configuring Network Information Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network administrator. If one HP product is installed on a dedicated LAN, network information (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address) does not require change. If multiple HP products are installed or a public LAN segment is used, network information must be changed to conform to the customer’s LAN addressing scheme.
Configuring the Product Figure 10: Network information message box 4. Update the address resolution protocol (ARP) table for the browser PC. Delete the product’s old IP address from the ARP table using the process that is appropriate for the operating system (OS) in use by the system. 5.

Configuring the Product ■ WWNs can be added to the SBML without regard to whether Switch Binding is enabled or disabled. ■ If the director or switch is online and Switch Binding is not enabled, all nodes and switches attached to the director or switch are automatically added to the SBML. Enabling and Disabling Switch Binding Note: Switch Binding can also be enabled by enabling the Enterprise Fabric Mode. For more information, see “Switch Binding and the Enterprise Fabric Mode” on page 72.
Configuring the Product Figure 16: Configuring Switch Binding 3. Enable or disable Switch Binding by selecting one of the following options from the Switch Binding State drop-down list. Available selections are: ■ Enable & Restrict E Ports — Enables the switch to bind to devices listed on the SBML through E_Ports only. ■ Enable & Restrict F Ports — Enables the switch to bind to devices listed on the SBML through F_Ports only.
Configuring the Product Configuring the Switch Binding Membership List The SBML contains the WWNs of devices that are allowed to communicate with the switch when Switch Binding is enabled. This list is configured using the Switch Binding tab. The contents of the SBML are shown at the bottom of the tab, listed by WWN. The tab can show up to 64 list members. If the list contains more than 64 members, the other list members are shown on subsequent pages.
Configuring the Product To delete a member from the SBML, perform the following procedure: 1. Select Configure from the navigation panel. 2. Select the Security tab and the Switch Binding tab. The Switch Binding tab view displays (Figure 16). 3. Select the Delete button next to the listing for the member. 4. At the Are you sure you want to delete this member? prompt, click OK. The SBML redisplays without the deleted member.
Configuring the Product Configuring Fabric Binding Fabric Binding functionality, provided by the SANtegrity Binding feature, allows you to bind the switch or director to specified fabrics so that it can communicate only with those fabrics. With Fabric Binding enabled, the product can communicate only with fabrics that are included in the Fabric Binding Membership List (FBML). Using Fabric Binding, you can allow specific switches to attach to specific fabrics in the SAN.
Configuring the Product 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 director or switch is offline or online. Be aware of the following: ■ Because switches are bound to a fabric by WWN and domain ID, the Insistent Domain ID function is automatically enabled if Fabric Binding is enabled.
Configuring the Product Figure 17: Configuring Fabric Binding The Fabric Binding tab is divided into sections by the following headings: ■ Fabric Binding Status—Identifies whether Fabric Binding is active or inactive on the product. ■ Actions to Modify the Active Fabric Binding Membership List (FBML)—Enables you to activate and deactivate Fabric Binding using the following buttons: — Activate — By selecting this button, you save the pending FBML as the active FBML and activate Fabric Binding.
Configuring the Product ■ Actions to Modify the Pending Fabric Binding Membership List (FBML)—Enables you to modify the pending FBML using the following buttons: — Delete All — By selecting this button, you can delete all members from the pending FBML that are not attached to the current fabric. Members that are attached must remain in the list, because the membership list must contain all attached members to be activated.
Configuring the Product Note: Fabric Binding is also enabled automatically, when the Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled. However, in this case, only attached fabric members are included in the active FBML. For more information, see “Fabric Binding and the Enterprise Fabric Mode” on page 72. 1.

Configuring the Product ■ “Domain RSCNs and the Enterprise Fabric Mode” on page 73 ■ “Insistent Domain Identification (ID) and the Enterprise Fabric Mode” on page 73 Fabric Binding and the Enterprise Fabric Mode Fabric Binding is a SANtegrity Binding feature that prohibits switches and directors from communicating with switches or directors that are not part of the fabric. Refer to “Configuring Fabric Binding” on page 63 for details on configuring Fabric Binding.
Configuring the Product 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 (for more information, see “Configuring Fabric Parameters” on page 41). This delay enables frames sent using the old path to arrive at their destination before frames begin traversing the new path.
Configuring the Product Configuring Open Trunking The Open Trunking page enables you to configure open trunking settings. Open Trunking is an optional software feature that is enabled using a feature key. The purpose of Open Trunking is to make efficient use of redundant interswitch links (ISLs) between neighboring switches by means of load balancing. ISLs are fiber optic cables that connect ports between Fibre Channel switches and link these switches into a multiswitch fabric.
Configuring the Product Note: For the Director 2/140, ports are displayed through several pages in groups of 32. To configure all of the ports, make sure you go through each set. You must click Activate for each view before moving to the next. To configure Open Trunking: 1. Choose Configure from the navigation panel. 2. Choose the Performance tab and the Open Trunking tab. The Open Trunking tab view displays (Figure 19). Figure 19: Configuring Open Trunking 3.
Configuring the Product Note: Earlier versions of this dialog box may display Credit Starvation Threshold instead of the Low BB Credit Threshold. The system monitors the percentage of time that the port experiences no transmit BB_credits on the link. The link cannot transmit without BB_credits. When the threshold is exceeded, the system reroutes flows away from the ISL that is experiencing this problem.
Configuring the Product Installing Feature Keys Perform this procedure to install one or more of the following optional features: ■ OSMS — The Open Systems Management Server feature allows open systems host control of the product. ■ FICON Management Server — The FICON Management Server feature allows host control and inband management of the director or switch through an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server server attached to a director or switch port.
Configuring the Product The feature key can be installed while the product is online, except in the following circumstances: ■ With E/OS 3.0 or earlier, the product must be offline before a feature can be enabled. ■ If the new feature key removes existing functionality, the product must be offline during the installation process. (See “Setting Product Online or Offline” on page 137 for instructions on setting the product offline.) After obtaining the feature key, install the feature as follows: 1.
Configuring the Product Note: When Activate is selected, all current features are removed and replaced with the features specified in the feature key. Features not included in the new feature key are no longer available on the system. Because of this, it is important to verify that the feature key enables all desired features. 4. Click Activate to activate the new feature key. (The system automatically undergoes an IPL).

Configuring Zones 3 This chapter provides an overview of zoning and describes how to configure zones and zone sets.
Configuring Zones Understanding Zoning Designing zoning can be a complex task, especially for multiswitch fabrics. Consult with your managed product vendor’s professional services organization before configuring zoning. This section is designed to help you understand the following concepts so that you can more efficiently use Embedded Web Server features to configure and manage zones across a multiswitch fabric: ■ Benefits of zoning.
Configuring Zones ■ Create groups of devices that are separate from devices in the rest of a fabric. Zoning allows certain processes (such as maintenance or testing) to be performed on devices in one group without interrupting devices in other groups. ■ Allow temporary access between devices for specific purposes. Administrators can remove zoning restrictions temporarily (for example, to perform nightly data backup), then restore zoning restrictions to perform normal processes.
Configuring Zones zoning through a multiswitch fabric Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Director Interswitch Link Director Director Figure 22: Zoning through a multiswitch fabric Controlling Access at the Switch A port binding feature is available on switches and directors that allows you to bind a specific switch or director port to the WWN of an attached device for exclusive communication.
Configuring Zones Controlling Access at the Server or Storage Device Features available at the server or storage device can add methods, beyond zoning, to increase network security measures, differentiate between operating systems, and prevent data loss or corruption by controlling access between devices or between separate user groups (such as engineering or human resources). Server-level access control is called persistent binding.
Configuring Zones ■ Is typically proprietary and protects only a specific vendor’s storage devices. Storage-level access control may not be available for many legacy devices. Before establishing persistent binding or access control features at the storage device, consult with your managed-product vendor’s professional services organization. Zoning Concepts Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device ports that attach to product ports.
Configuring Zones configure for a zone varies according to the number of zones in the zone set, the length of the zone names, and other factors, but is essentially bounded by the available nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) in the managed product. Note: Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability mode for the switch or director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode. In this case, you must use node WWNs as zone members.
Configuring Zones Using Port Numbers To identify a zone member by port number, use the domain identification number of the managed product and the port number on that managed product. For example: Domain 1, Port 1 Note: Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability mode for the switch or director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode. Port numbers can be 0 through n, with n representing the number of ports on the managed product minus one.
Configuring Zones ■ When no zone set is activated, then all devices are considered to be in the default zone. ■ If a zone set is active, then all connected devices that are not included as members of a zone in the active zone set are included in the default zone. Zone Sets A zone set is a group of zones that you can activate or deactivate as a single entity across all managed products in either a single switch or a multiswitch fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time.
Configuring Zones When fabrics join through an ISL, adjacent managed products exchange active zone configurations and determine if the configurations are compatible and can merge. Zoning configurations are compatible if the active zone names in each fabric are unique. If there are identical zone names in each fabric, then the zones must have identical members for the fabrics to join. If the configurations can merge, the fabrics join.
Configuring Zones Table 3: Merging Zones Fabric A Fabric B Result Not zoned Not zoned Fabrics join successfully. The new fabric remains not zoned. Not zoned Zoned Fabrics join successfully and the active zone set will propagate across the fabric. Fabric A inherits zoning configuration from Fabric B. Zoned Not zoned Fabrics join successfully and the active zone set will propagate across the fabric. Fabric B inherits zoning configuration from Fabric A.
Configuring Zones Configuring, Adding, or Deleting Zones Perform this procedure to configure, change, add, or delete zones. A zone is a group of devices that can access each other through port-to-port connections. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other; devices in different zones cannot.
Configuring Zones ■ The first character of a zone set name must be a letter (A through Z or a through z). ■ A zone set name cannot contain spaces. ■ Valid characters are alphanumerics and the caret ( ^ ), hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), or dollar ( $ ) symbols. ■ A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters. Note: A product can have a maximum of 1024 zones. 4. Type the zone name and click Add New Zone.
