Connecting the Edge Switch38
When the Element Manager application opens, the last view (tab) accessed by a user opens by
default. The example in Figure 16 shows the Hardware view.

4. Inspect Edge Switch status at the Hardware view and perform one of the following steps:
• If the Edge Switch displays the Operational state (no FRU alert symbols and a green circle at
the alert panel), go to
”Setting the Edge Switch date and time” on page 38.
• If the Edge Switch displays the Degraded state or an Edge Switch failure is indicated (FRU
alert symbols and a yellow triangle or red diamond at the alert panel), see the HP
StorageWorks Edge Switch service guide to isolate the problem.
Setting the Edge Switch date and time
The Element Manager log entries are stamped with the date and time at which they are received
from the Edge Switch. You can set the Edge Switch date and time manually, or the date and time
can be periodically updated by the HAFM appliance (the Edge Switch and HAFM appliance
synchronize at least once daily). To set the date and time for the Edge Switch:
1. At the Hardware view, select Configure > Date/Time.
