Starting the Manager
The GUI management interface
needs to be started by a network or RAID systems manager regardless of which
OS is being used.
Depending on your setup, you can start the manager in various ways.
For both local and distant management, and under various OSes, please refer
to the appropriate sub-section below for information.
Locally or via LAN under the Windows (2000/XP/2003)
environment:
Step 1. From the Start menu, select Programs -> select the GUI Manager.
-or-
Double-click the Manager icon either in the group folder or from the desktop if a shortcut was added during the installation process. A Connection prompt window should appear on the screen.
Step 2. Enter the IP address and TCP port assignment of the host directly attached with a RAID array or a disk array system connected via LAN.
Step 3. Enter User name (Configuration/Maintenancer/Information) and password accordingly and click OK to proceed. The manager defaults to the enclosure screen. You may now start managing the array.
Remote management via web browser (any supported OS)
Step 1. Start your web browser and enter the IP address of the RAID-connected server or that assigned to a RAID system's Ethernet port as your URL (e.g., 222.212.121.123). After a brief delay while the Java Applet starts, the manager's main connection window appears on the screen.
Step 2. Enter User name (Configuration/Maintenance/Information) and password accordingly and click OK to proceed. The manager defaults to the enclosure screen. You may now start managing the array.
