HP EFC Server Description

The HP EFC Server is a notebook personal computer (PC) that provides a central point of
control for up to 48 LAN-connected directors or other supported products. However, note
that the maximum number of switches per storage area network (SAN) fabric is 16.
Contact your local HP sales representative for the latest information.
The server is mounted in a slide-out drawer in the equipment rack. The server or Internet
access to the embedded Web server application is required to install, configure, and
manage the director. Although the director operates normally without an HP EFC Server,
the server should operate at all times to monitor director operation, log events and
configuration changes, and report failures. Figure 6 illustrates the HP EFC Server.
