Managing firmware versions
Firmware refers to the internal operating code for the switch. You can maintain up to eight firmware
versions on the HAFM appliance for downloading to a switch. To use the Firmware Library
option to manage firmware versions, follow the steps in the appropriate service manual for your
Edge Switch.
Enabling e-mail notification
E-mail addresses and the SMTP server address for e-mail notification of switch events must be
configured through HAFM. Refer to the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager user guide for
instructions on configuring e-mail notification.
E-mail recipients are configured in HAFM through the E-Mail Event Notification Setup dialog box. A
valid SMTP address is also configured through this dialog box.
Use the Enable E-Mail Notification function on the Element Manager to enable e-mail notification
for events that occur on a selected switch. The default state is disabled.
To enable and disable e-mail notification, select Maintenance > Enable E-Mail Notification.
Click this option again to disable it.
Enabling or disabling Call Home Notification
Select Maintenance > Enable Call Home Notification to enable and disable Call Home
Notification for system problems. A check mark is displayed next to this option when the Call Home
Notification is enabled.
Keep the following information in mind:
•
You must enable call-home event notification through the HP StorageWorks HAFM application
Maintenance menu before enabling this function through the Element Manager for individual
directors. A choice of two call-home features is provided when HAFM is installed.
•
In legacy HP environments, call-home notification for directors and switches requires installation
of Proactive Service software. This service is offered at no additional charge for subsystems
covered under an on-site warranty or on-site storage hardware support contract. To register or
order Proactive Services software, contact your HP customer service representative.
•
In classic HP environments, configure telephone numbers and other information for the call-home
feature through the Windows dial-up networking application. To enable call-home notification
for a director, see the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager Application installation guide.
Backing up and restoring configuration
Use Backup & Restore Configuration to save the product configuration stored on the switch to
the HAFM appliance hard disk or to restore the product configuration from the HAFM appliance,
since only a single copy of the configuration is kept on the HAFM appliance.
Backup is primarily for single-CTP systems, such as the Edge Switch 2/24, where a backup is
needed to restore to a replacement CTP card. You can also use this feature for a special purpose
configuration or for temporary testing of a configuration. You cannot modify the location and file
name of the saved configuration.
