1–42 edge switch 2/16 service manual
General InformationI
— Upgrade switch firmware.
General tasks performed through the web server interface are similar in form and
function to tasks performed through the HAFM and product manager applications,
and are therefore not documented in this publication. For task information and
descriptions, open the online user documentation (Help selection) that supports the
interface.
This publication provides instructions for switch installation and fault isolation using
the embedded web server interface. Refer to the hp StorageWorks edge switch 2/16
installation guide, (A7284-96001/AA-RSU2A-TE) for installation and configuration
tasks. Refer to Chapter 2 for fault isolation tasks.
SNMP Trap Message Support
Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate switch operational state changes or
failure conditions can be customer-configured to be transmitted to up to 12
management workstations. If installed on a dedicated Ethernet LAN, the workstations
communicate directly with each switch. If installed on a customer intranet, the
workstations communicate with switches through the HAFM server.
SNMP data and trap messages are defined in the Fibre Channel FE-MIB definition, a
subset of the TCP/IP MIB-II definition (RFC1213), and a custom, switch-specific
MIB. Customers can install these MIBs (in standard ASN.1 format) on any SNMP
management workstation.
Although SNMP trap messages are typically transmitted to customer personnel only,
the messages may be provided to service personnel as initial notification of a switch
problem or as information included in the fault isolation process. Generic SNMP traps
include:
• coldStart - reports that the SNMP agent is reinitializing due to a switch reset.
• warmStart - reports that the SNMP agent is reinitializing due to a switch IPL.
• authorizationFailure - reports access by an unauthorized SNMP manager. This
trap is configurable, and is disabled by default.
Switch-specific SNMP traps specified in the custom MIB include Fibre Channel port
operational state changes and FRU operational state changes.
If authorized through the Configure SNMP dialog box in the product manager
application, users at SNMP management workstations can modify MIB variables.
Switch modifications performed through SNMP management work stations are
recorded in the associated switch Audit Log and are available through the product
manager application.
