1 HAFM overview HAFM is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to manage users and products, monitor products, and open Element Managers. This chapter describes the following topics: • HAFM components, page 21 • SAN life cycle, page 24 • Searching the online help, page 25 • System requirements, page 26 HAFM components The HAFM application is installed on the 1U rack-mount appliance (HAFM appliance) to provide local access to managed products.
HAFM appliance The HAFM appliance provides a central point of control for managed Fibre Channel products. The HAFM appliance is required for installing, configuring, and managing these products. See the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager installation guide for details about the HAFM appliance.
Public and private LAN designations In a dual LAN configuration, both LANs must be connected when the HAFM appliance boots. If only one is connected, the HAFM appliance interprets this as a single LAN configuration, and the connected LAN is designated as the public LAN. The HAFM application designates the public LAN as the first LAN detected whose IP address is not the reserved private subnet 10.x.x.x. Thus, if neither IP address is 10.x.x.
• A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent implemented through the HAFM application. Administrators on SNMP management workstations can access product management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign IP addresses and corresponding community names for up to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. • The Internet, using the HAFM Basic interface installed on the director or switch.

7 Zoning Zoning defines the communication paths in a fabric. A zone consists of initiator and target ports in the SAN. Ports can communicate only with other ports in their zone. However, ports can be members of more than one zone. To zone devices in a fabric, the fabric’s principal switch must be an HP switch and HAFM must discover and manage it. HAFM performs zoning discovery once at startup, and thereafter once every two hours during routine discovery.
Table 23 Zoning parameter limits (continued) Number of zones in HAFM zoning library 1024 Number of zone sets in HAFM zoning library 64 Zone set sizes are determined by the: • Number of zones in the zone set • Length of each zone name • Number of members in each zone • Interoperability mode of the fabric Contact HP Professional Services or your support representative if you have questions regarding specific zone set configurations.

8 SANtegrity Security Center This chapter provides instructions for using the SANtegrity Security Center. • Security Center Overview, page 173 • Accessing the Security Center, page 173 • Displaying the Fabrics list, page 175 • Using the Authentication table, page 176 • Viewing the Security Log, page 196 Security Center Overview The Security Center is a tool for viewing and configuring your installation’s Fibre Channel authentication parameters.
Access the SANtegrity Security Center by clicking the Security tab or pressing F8 on the main window. In order to use the Security Center, the user must have Security Administrator privilege. If not, the Security tab is hidden. Additional information about the components of the Security window follows: • The upper left part of the Security window shows the Fabrics list. All discovered fabrics are listed by their WWNs with their operational status icons on the left side.
NOTE: SANtegrity Authentication can also be accessed from any SANtegrity-capable Element Manager by selecting Configure > SANtegrity Authentication. Accessing SANtegrity Authentication from the Element Manager allows you to manage only one device at a time. Figure 107 Security Center Displaying the Fabrics list The Fabrics list displays all discovered fabrics listed by their WWNs with their operational status on the left side if the status is available.
NOTE: If a device is managed by the HAFM appliance, when the device displayed on the Security tab is offline or loses a MPI link, the previously discovered value can still display in the top table. If this switch is selected, a blank area is displayed in the bottom pane with an error message. Using the Authentication table The Authentication table includes summary data about each switch or director in a fabric. This includes security and nonsecurity information.
Changing security data externally When security data is changed by another interface such as HTTP or Telnet, the Security Administrator should be notified because the working data can be affected by the table’s live update.
Using the Users tab The Security Administrator uses the Users tab to set up role-based user access to the selected switch through other management interfaces, such as HAFM Basic or Telnet. Figure 108 Security Center Users tab If the Enable EWS (HAFM Basic) or Enable Telnet check box is not selected, then no user can log in to the switch through this interface.
A default user is set up in the switch user base. The ID of the user is Administrator and the password is password. There is one default user displayed in the table, and the Telnet and HAFM Basic check boxes are selected. Adding a new user To add a new user: 1. Click Add. The Add/Edit User dialog box is displayed (Figure 109). Figure 109 Add/Edit User dialog box 2. Enter information in the fields. User ID must be unique. If you specify an existing ID, it will be rejected.
The Apply to Other Products dialog box is displayed (Figure 110). Figure 110 Apply to Other Products dialog box To be listed in this dialog box: • The switches and directors must be manageable. • The Element Manager must manage one of the following models: • A 16-port 1 Gb or 2 Gb switch • A 24-port 2 Gb switch • A 32-port 1 Gb or 2 Gb switch • A 64-port or 140-port director • The firmware must be 7.0 or later. 2. Select the check boxes for the devices to which you want to apply the users. 3. Click OK.
Using the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box Clicking OK on the Apply to Other Products dialog box or clicking Apply on the Users tab, displays the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box (Figure 111). This is a status-monitoring dialog box that lets you know if the changes were successful.
The differences between the to-be-populated settings and current settings on each individual product are displayed, because the Apply To dialog box takes changes made on user settings for one product, and generalizes them to multiple products whose user settings can be totally different. The new settings replace the existing settings on other products. To thoroughly check the new changes, click different products on the Product List and view detailed changes.
Figure 112 Security Center Software tab Enabling API authentication If API authentication is enabled, follow these guidelines: • There must be a minimum of one entry in the Permitted Software field. If not, a warning message is displayed when you click Apply. • The current HAFM appliance must be included. If not, the appliance loses manageability and you are forced to use an alternate management interface to disable API authentication.
• If you select Radius Only, the HAFM appliance checks to see whether a RADIUS server is specified on the Radius Servers tab. If not, the Radius Only and Radius then Local options are not available from the drop-down menu. • If one RADIUS server is set to Radius Only, then the Radius then Local option is available. • The HAFM appliance cannot automatically populate API information to the RADIUS server. A message is displayed, indicating that you have set API Authentication Method to Radius Only.
Removing the current HAFM appliance To remove the current HAFM appliance, do one of the following: • If the server ID is defined only on the HAFM appliance and has not been added to the switch, the current appliance can be removed by not selecting the Include current server check box. If the current appliance is selected, Remove is disabled. • If the server ID and CHAP Secret have been added to the switch, highlight the current appliance and click Remove.
If you modify a CHAP Secret for a non-local server on the Software tab, a message is displayed indicating you are about to modify the CHAP Secret of this HAFM appliance the switch's local database. The message also says to check the Server Properties dialog box for this switch and make sure the secret is updated accordingly. If you fail to do so, this appliance cannot manage the products any more. 2. Edit the CHAP Secret. 3. Click OK to return to the Software tab.
Figure 114 Security Center Devices tab For two connected switches to authenticate each other locally, each switch must have its own user ID, node WWN, and CHAP Secret, as well as the other switch’s user ID and CHAP Secret. The switch can store more IDs and CHAP Secrets if it has multiple connections with other switches only. You can also store IDs and CHAP Secrets of switches that have no physical connections with this switch.
Understanding the Devices tab display and default settings When you access the Devices tab: 1. Ensure that the node name is already discovered and displayed in a uneditable text field. 2. Define the CHAP Secret for the selected switch: a. Click Edit Secret. The Add Device dialog box is displayed (Figure 115). Figure 115 Add Device (Edit Secret) dialog box b. Click Generate to automatically generate a CHAP Secret and place it in the CHAP Secret and Retype Secret fields.
• If a port is specified as Switch default, this port abides by all authentication settings configured for this switch. All ports are set to this state at product initialization time. The HAFM appliance displays all the switches, directors, and end nodes connected to the highlighted switch in the Devices tab. This tracks the security settings on each switch port and the state of connected devices.
To add a device that is not discovered by the HAFM appliance, a device that is not physically connected, or a device that is discovered but not directly attached to the current switch. Figure 116 Add Device dialog box 2. Type the node name. • If node name is already in the Authenticated Devices list or is invalid, the new entry is rejected.
Adding a connected device without a CHAP Secret to a switch 1. Select a device in the Port Authenticated Devices table. 2. Click the right arrow. The Add User dialog box is displayed. Changing a CHAP Secret for a connected device 1. Select a connected device from the Authenticated Devices list and click Edit. The Change Secret dialog box is displayed 2. Click OK. 3. The CHAP Secret for the device is changed inside the local database, and in the current switch’s Authenticated Devices list.
Changing the port authentication state for a nonauthenticated device with or without a CHAP Secret 1. Select a device, and select Force Enabled or Switch Setting from the corresponding authentication state while the E_Port authentication is checked. If the device has not been transferred to the Authenticated Devices list, Needed is displayed in the Secret column whether the device has a CHAP Secret or not. 2. Continue configuring multiple port authentication states. 3. Click Apply.
Applying changes and confirmation 1. Click Apply from the Devices tab. The Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box is displayed. This dialog box is similar in behavior to the Security Change Confirmation and Status that is displayed from the Users tab. The only difference is in the Detailed Changes table. On the Devices tab there is no Apply To available, so there is always one product in the Product List.
If the Enable IP Access Control List check box is selected, the restricted access to the follow IP addresses is enforced. If not checked, management interfaces can access the switch from any IP address. The check box is enabled only if at least one IP address is in the list. Adding a new IP address 1. Click Add. The Add/Edit IP Address or Range dialog box is displayed. 2. Enter an IP Address or an IP Address Range. The IP range is defined by a starting IP address and ending IP address. 3. Click Apply.
If there are no security settings being changed, the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box is displayed with the Detailed Changes table showing that No Changes were Found on the first row. 3. Click Start and the status window displays a message indicating the security settings are identical and there are no changes to apply. RADIUS Servers tab The Radius Servers tab (Figure 118) allows you to specify the RADIUS server that will be used for authentication.
• The Retries column specifies the number of times a packet is sent to a RADIUS server if a response is not received before the timeout. After the retransmit limit is reached, the Gateway switches to the next server. The value can be 1 to 100; the default is 3 attempts. • The Dead Time setting located below the RADIUS servers and Sequence table apply to all available RADIUS servers. If a RADIUS server does not respond to an authentication request, it can be marked as dead for a specified time interval.
Figure 119 Security Log Columns in the Security Log are: • Severity—The severity level of the event: informational, warning, or fatal. • User—The user associated with the event. • Reason—The reason code for the failure. • Description—Provides details of the event and the IP address of the product. • Date/Time—The date and time that the event occurred. The format is yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss:tt. The last two characters (hundredth of seconds) are for advanced logs with a higher frequency rate.
• The SANtegrity Security Center is accessed from a tab that is parallel to the View tab in the main window. The SANtegrity Authentication is accessed from the Configure menu. • The SANtegrity Security Center displays a Product Configuration table that lists all discoverable products and their security settings. The SANtegrity Authentication display does not have this table. • The SANtegrity Security Center Users tab displays an Apply To button.
