Command View SANMGR access

UVK_1 — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:21:08 GMT

Hello Experts!!

We have a VA7410 attached to 2 HPUX server. If I have to do any storage administration I have to start the script
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin/launcher
which opens up HPStorage works stuff on reflection as X11 forwarding is enabled.
My problem is the access is very very slow and I just have to wait ages for the storage works console to come up. Is there a way I can setup access this using broswer based console ?

Thanks in advance!

I believe you can accesss the Command View server via the browser by using this command:

http://:4096/Launcher.html

example:
http://hpux01:4096/Launcher.html

Host is the host with Command View sdm on it.

Cheers,

Curt

"My problem is the access is very very slow and I just have to wait ages for the storage works console to come up."

Well, it's java.

Try the command line tools.

# cvui

or

# arm...
(armdsp, armmgr, ...)

Thanks guys

I got it running. I had to add my system ip to access.dat file and need a certificate to be generated from array connected host to use in my system brower.

Though its a java applet it 90 times faster than previous console.

Mates of ITRC rock as always.

Sorry, I've submitted this twice and it keeps losing it. Let's try this one more time

Yes there are services (a host agent running a daemon in the Unix world). Here's what you need to do:

1) There is a security file you need to edit to allow web access. The file is located here:

/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/config/access.dat

Just edit the file and add the IP address of the users you want to allow access to. You can use wild cards, i.e. 192.168.1.*

2) You'll need to restart the host agent to re-read the access.dat file.

/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/sbin/HA_trigger stop
/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/sbin/HA_trigger start

You may need to update Java, but I think that's mostly what you need to do. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Curt
