Embedded Web Server Diagnostics

If the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager (HAFM) server access is not available, the embedded web server interface provides a GUI accessed through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage, monitor, and isolate problems for a single switch. This interface is available with switch firmware Version 1.2 (or later) installed, and does not replace nor offer the full management capability of the HAFM and switch product manager applications.

The embedded web server 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 browser, enter the IP address of the switch as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, enter a user name and password. When the interface opens, the default display is the View panel. Service personnel can perform the monitoring, configuration, maintenance and diagnostic functions as follows:

View panel - quickly inspect and determine the operational status of the switch, and inspect switch properties and operating parameters, FRU properties, and Fibre Channel port properties.

Configure panel - configure or change:

Switch ports.

Switch identification, date and time, operating parameters, and network addresses.

SNMP trap message recipients.

User passwords.

Monitor panel - inspect and monitor:

Fibre Channel ports and port performance statistics.

The active zone set.

Event log entries, and clear the IML LED at the front panel.

Information about attached devices (nodes).

Operations panel - perform the following operations and maintenance tasks:

Enable port beaconing and perform port diagnostics (internal and external loopback tests).

Reset Fibre Channel ports.

Set the switch online state.
