• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element Manager. It allows administrators on
SNMP management workstations to access product management information using any
standard network management tool. Through the Element Manager, administrators can assign
Internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six workstations
functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. Refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP reference
guide for directors and edge switches for more information.
This manual provides details on the Element Manager for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140
products only. It provides instructions for using the Element Manager through the HAFM application.
Element Manager description
The Element Manager for the director products is a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that
provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual directors and
their field-replaceable units (FRUs).
The Element Manager provides graphical views of director hardware components and displays of
component status. By positioning the mouse pointer on icons, graphics, panels, and other visual
elements in these views and clicking the left or right mouse button, you can quickly manage and
monitor the director on your network.
The server software for the HAFM and Element Manager comes installed on the HAFM appliance.
