HP Enterprise Fabric
Management Suite
(EFMS)
HP Enterprise Fabric Management Suite (EFMS) software is a set of simple, affordable and powerful fabric
management tools for HP H-series fabrics. A management interface provides performance and fabric
monitoring as well as configuration tools for H-series fabrics. Users are licensed, per site, geographic
location, or campus, to manage an unlimited number of switches and fabrics from a single, fully integrated
application.
Enterprise Fabric Management Suite also provides maintenance, isolation and troubleshooting capabilities
for SAN administrators who require advanced tools. Included with EFMS is a comprehensive set of real-
time diagnostic tools for monitoring and troubleshooting Fibre Channel Fabrics. Determine if a device is
responding, trace the path in the fabric, as well as monitor the health of SFP and XPAK transceivers.

Performance Monitoring
provides easy-to-configure/easy-to-use graphs for monitoring the
performance of your Fibre Channel SAN. Troubleshoot fabric problems and indentify performance
bottlenecks before they become an issue. Historical performance data can be exported to
spreadsheets or databases for analysis.
Extended Credit Wizard
steps the user through a simple and easy to use interface, allowing the user
to quickly configure ports to support situations when long distance communication is required.
Fabric Tracker
allows the user to view two saved configurations and compare the differences.
Periodically take a snap-shot of the fabric configuration to see what has changed from yesterday, a
week ago, a month ago, or from the day of installation.
Fabric Monitoring
enables the user to configure thresholds and alarms per switch port to alert
operations when unexpected error rates, traffic levels, or anomalies occur in the fabric. Enterprise
Fabric Management Suite can be configured to send alerts, through SNMP for full integration into
existing enterprise monitoring applications.
Auto Filtering
takes the time and labor out of finding useful switch and port statistics- health,
operation, and environmental statistics are a mouse click away. Filter switch data using buttons that
group data into logical sets. Quickly find critical switch information such as power, cooling, health
and the associated IP network status.
Fabric Zoning
