Figure 1–7: Typical Network Configuration (Two Ethernet Connections)

•Although this dual Ethernet connection is supported by HP, it is not OV-SNM compatible, requires installation of an additional PCMCIA LAN adapter card (not supplied by HP), and is not the recommended configuration for a typical new HP installation at a customer site.

Refer to the hp StorageWorks product in a SAN environment: planning guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32

(A6534-96025/AA-RS2DA-TE) for additional information about network configurations.

CAUTION: Prior to servicing a switch or HAFM server, determine the Ethernet LAN configuration. Installation of switches and the HAFM server on a public customer intranet can complicate problem determination and fault isolation.

Minimum Remote Console Hardware Specifications

Client HAFM and product manager applications download and install to remote workstations (from the HAFM server) using a standard web browser. The applications operate on platforms that meet the following minimum system requirements:
