Opening the NPC Utility (Notification Processing Center)

When do You Need It?

The Configuration Client utility (which allows you to configure notification methods) is not available with the mode 3 installation scheme. With mode 3 installation, arrays are accessed directly through network connections without installing the manager software and utilities onto a server. To enable the event notification capability, an NPC utility is automatically distributed to a disk array's reserved space.

To Access the Utility:

1. Open a web browser program.
2. Enter "http://<controller IP>/configure.htm" in the web browser's URL field.
3. A safe content warning message might prompt. Click Yes to proceed.
4. The configuration utility starts as a Java Applet.


SSL:

The initial screen defaults to the SSL option. Select the check box if you want to enable SSL connection for the management session with the array. Note that the configuration takes effect after you restart the management station.
