Starting and Stopping HAFM Services

Options are available for starting and stopping HAFM Services through the
desktop Start menu:

1. Choose Start > Programs > HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager.

2. Choose Stop Services to stop all HAFM services and HAFM appliance

functions.

3. Choose Start Services to restart these functions.

HAFM Services is the software application that provides services to the HAFM
application. HAFM Services runs only on the HAFM appliance.

Managing Remote Access to the HAFM Appliance

Users at the HAFM appliance can access the HAFM and Element Managers
loaded on the appliance itself. Users at remote PC workstations can also access
the same HAFM appliance or other HAFM appliances if the workstations meet
minimum hardware and software requirements and are running the HAFM Client
application. Workstations must also be configured to connect with the HAFM
appliance over a TCP/IP network connection.

Figure 2

on page 33 illustrates a remote user workstation connected to the HAFM

appliance through a LAN. Please note that this is an example configuration only.

Operators at remote workstations can manage and monitor all products controlled
by the HAFM appliance. Each active connection between a remote workstation
and an HAFM appliance and managed products is called a session. A maximum
of nine concurrent users (eight remote and one local HAFM appliance user) can
log in to the HAFM application.

Requirements for Remote Workstations

The HAFM is downloaded and installed on user workstations from the HAFM
appliance. The remote workstations can be Windows 2000, Windows NT,
Windows XP, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, or Solaris systems.

For the minimum system requirements for remote workstations, see

Appendix D

in this guide for the appropriate operating system.
