Refer to the HAFM appliance installation guide and the HP StorageWorks High Availability-Fabric
Manager user guide for more information.
Command line interface
The command line interface (CLI) allows you to access many HAFM functions while entering
commands during a Telnet session with the switch.The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate
management of a large number of switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no
checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks.
Refer to HP StorageWorks CLI reference guide for directors and edge switches for more information.
Operational features
The Edge Switch 2/24 supports several operational features including:
• Advanced error detection, reporting, and serviceability.
• Support for multi-switch fabrics.
• Software diagnostics to aid in fault isolation and repair.
Error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features
The switch provides the following error detection, reporting, and serviceability features:
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that provide
visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
• FRUs (SFP transceivers and integrated cooling fan and power supply assemblies) that are
removed or replaced without disrupting switch or Fibre Channel link operation.
• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without the use of tools
or equipment.
• System alerts and logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the
EWS interface, HAFM appliance, or remote workstation.
• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port diagnostics
(loopback tests).
