NOTE:
You may configure some features through both the HAFM and the Element Manager. You
must also enable Element Manager feature permissions for Administrative, Operator, and
Maintenance user levels through the HAFM. When this guide refers to the HAFM for specific tasks,
you should see the HAFM on line help or the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager user guide
for
detailed instructions.
Feature keys
Feature keys verify ownership of the Element Manager and optional features that can be purchased
for the Element Manager. The feature key, which is encoded with a director’s serial number, can
only be configured on the director to which it is assigned.
When you purchase additional Element Manager features, you receive a feature key. The feature
keys that you are currently using are included in this key.
Here are some important points about the Element Manager feature key introduced with this
release:
•
All directors that were purchased prior to the release of firmware 06.00.00 automatically have
the Element Manager feature enabled when their firmware is upgraded to version 06.00.00 or
later. However, the feature key for the Element Manager is not added or incorporated into the
existing feature key.
•
Enabling the Reset Configuration option through the Element Manager Maintenance menu
clears all features that were enabled through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. (See
” on page 136 for more information.) When you attempt to reinstall
features using a feature key assigned for a director prior to the release of 06.00.00, a warning
informs you that the Element Manager feature key is not installed. You must contact customer
support to get a feature key reassigned that includes the Element Manager feature.
•
For directors shipped to you with firmware version 06.01.00 or later installed:
• Feature keys for the Element Manager are activated automatically.
• Feature keys for additional features you have purchased must be activated through the
Configure Feature Key dialog box in the Element Manager. See ”
” on page 136 for more information.
Feature permissions
The system administrator can allow users access to specific functions of Element Manager features
through HAFM.
Detailed instructions for assigning permissions are provided in the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric
Manager user guide.
There are three permission levels that can be assigned to specific users:
•
Device Administration
•
