Requirement 2. Installation Steps 3. Uninstallation Steps 4. Set & Modify Password 5. Miscellaneous points System Requirements: 1) Ultra 320 controllers 2) IX86 based processors OS Requirement: 1) OpenServer 5.0.6 or above Client Requirement: 1) Installation will work only on Xterminal Screens. Information below lists all the features of Intel(r) RAID Web Console and their requirements. NOTE: Features are from the user's point of view and may consist of one or more components. RAID Web Server: There is no requirement for installing Web Server. Web Server is installed in /opt/MCC directory. JRE 1.3.x or above is required. The Web Server files are simply copied to /opt/MCC directory. Registration Server: TCP Stack needs to be up and running for Registration Server to function. RegSvr file will be copied to /usr/sbin directory. Default Registration server name is "localhost". RAID Server: RAID server and its sub features can be installed only if RAID card is found and driver is loaded. 2. Installation Steps: a. Please insure that Java RunTIme Environment is installed(jre 1.3.x comes preinstalled with OS) and path system variable is updated with JRE location. User .jar file to install RAID Web Console. b. Raid Web Console Installation Steps: 1) switch to GUI screen. 2) Copy openserver.jar(where as openserver will remain same and version number of the package will be changed) into a directory. 3) Change to above directory where you store .jar file to. 4) At the shell prompt, type "java -jar openserver.jar" to run installation thru GUI installation or type java -jar openserver.jar -console or -silent to go thru non-GUI instllation . 5) Click finish when installation completes. NOTE: If you get "Installer is unable to run in graphical mode, Try running installer with -console or -silent flag" message then set DISPLAY variable to localhost:0.0. And try running installer with "java -jar" command. Raid Web Console Uninstalling Steps: Switch to GUI screen. Go to the directory /opt/MCC/_uninst At the shell prompt, type "java -jar uninstall.jar". NOTE: 1) Intel(r) RAID Web Console Installation does not support component updates currently. One must uninstall a feature and reinstall that particular feature. 3. Reconfiguring Web Server and RAID Servers: There are two ways to run Intel(r) RAID Web Console. First is locally, where all the components are in a single machine. The other is where there are multiple systems running RAID Servers in the network. Following description applies to both. Running locally must be treated as a special case of the former. Installation will install component based upon user's choice whether they want to install "standalone" or "networking". Installation starts RAID Server, Registration Server and RAID Server automatically depending up on user's choice. * Web Server is UNAWARE of registration server. It knows only about RAID Servers. * RAID Servers are UNAWARE of Web Server. They know only about Registration Server. * Registration Server is UNAWARE of both - Web Server and RAID Servers. Follow these steps to configure Web Server and RAID Servers. INSTALLATION DOES THESE STEPS AUTOMATICALLY DURING INSTALLATION DEPENDING UP ON USER'S CHOICE. * There must be only one Registration Server running in the network. It can co-exist with either Web Server or any RAID Server. Of course, in the LOCAL (standalone) setup, all the components run on a same machine. * Registration Server must be running before the RAID Servers are started. Registration Server can be started by typing /usr/sbin/RegSvr at the prompt. (/usr/sbin/RegSvr -stop to stop). Installation does this automatically before completing installation. * First task is to make a RAID Server become aware of the Registration Server. To do this: a. Registration Server: * Open /etc/regserv.dat * Type either the IP or the name of the server running the Registration Server. * If you are using the name instead of IP, make sure the name is resolvable. (Try pinging the server using name). * If the name is not resolved, you can add the name to "hosts" file. (/etc/hosts) * If everything is running locally, you may type "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 in the first line of /etc/regserv.dat * The above steps must be done in each machine where RAID Server is running. Once that is done, all RAID Servers may be started. To start a RAID Server type /user/sbin/RaidServ at the prompt. (Type /usr/sbin/StopServer to stop a RAID Server) b. Web Server: * Now Web Server must be made to point at any of the RAID Servers. To do this: * Open the file /opt/MCC/mcc.properties * This file contains many NAME=VALUE pairs. * Locate the name "RAID_SERVER_NAME" * Type either the name or IP of a RAID Server. * If you are using the name, make sure it is resolvable. (Try pinging the machine using the name). * If the name is not resolved, you can add the name to "hosts" file. (/etc/hosts) * If everything is running locally, you may type RAID_SERVER_NAME=localhost * Now start the Web Server by typing "sh /opt/MCC/startup-uw.sh". * To stop Web Server type "sh /opt/MCC/shutdown-uw.sh". 4. How to set & modify Full Access Password: * Password must be set on every machine that runs RAID Server (RaidServ). * To set the password for the first time, type /usr/sbin/SetPass at the shell prompt. * SetPass utility prompts user to enter a new password and confirm it. * Length of the password must not be more than 40 characters. * If a password has already been set, then SetPass allows a user to modify it. * Password is maintained in the file /etc/raidpass.val * Password needs to be set every time you uninstall and install Intel(r) RAID Web Console 5. Miscellaneous points: * log files (RSMessages.log & PollMessages.log) are created in the directory /var/log * /usr/sbin/RaidServ -ver will now print version information. * Starting from Version 1.21-1, a new facility to limit the size of log files is added. * Open the file /etc/RaidServ.cfg. * This is basically an INF kind of file with parameters in the form of NAME=VALUE. * The NAME "max_log" specifies the maximum size (in bytes) up to which a log file can grow. * RAID Server periodically examines the file size and trims the file to half the maximum size set. For example, if the maximum size is 2MB, then when the file crosses 2MB, it is truncated to roughly 1MB size. The default value is 1MB. * The NAME "trim_interval" specifies the length of the period after which next size check for trimming is scheduled. The default value is 120 minutes. * The oldest messages are deleted first. * Log files log messages whose severity value is equal or more than the value set in /etc/RaidServ.cfg. *Third-party trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
