Navigating the ConfigTool
CAUTIONCAUTION
Save system data prior to installing or
changing hardware configurations.
Host Discovery
The ATTO ConfigTool is able to discover hosts
automatically, as well as manually. A host will be
discovered and displayed in the
Device Listing
only if
the system service is installed and running on the host.
A host that only has the GUI Application installed will
not be displayed in the
Device Listing
.
Automatic Discovery
Hosts on the local subnet are automatically discovered
and placed into the
Device Listing
.
Manual Discovery
A host can be found manually by using the Network
menu and selecting “Find host”. The IP address or
hostname of the remote host is required. If the host is
already in the
Device Listing
, it is not added again.
Host Login Status
The GUI Application must login into each host before
that host can be managed or configured.
The GUI Application indicates the login status for a
host as follows:
• A host that is not logged in will display the
host icon and the text as gray and italicized.
• A host that is logged in will display the host
icon with a green background and black
non-italicized text.
• A host that was logged in but the host is
rebooting will display the host icon and text
as gray and italicized with a strike through.
Login to a Host
A login is started when the host's Device Listing tree is
expanded. A login dialogue box displays and you must
enter a username and password. The username and
password of an administrator for the host is required to
proceed, and is checked against the user credentials
stored on the host.
• In Windows and Mac OS X, the login
information is checked against any user in
the Administrators group.
• In Linux, the login information is checked
against the root user.
If three successive login attempts fail, the GUI
Application will be locked out from the host for three
minutes. All login attempts that occur during the
lockout period will receive an error status. GUI
Applications in other hosts will not be affected by the
lockout period.
Once a login is established, the icon of the host is
highlighted green and the text becomes black with
normal font.
Note
There is no logout facility.
Select a Host
Select any host by clicking on it in the
Device Listing
window. The following tabs display in the
Configuration Options
window:
• The Basic Info tab displays information
about the booted operating system on that
host. It also shows scheduled reboot
information and provides the ability to install
a driver on that host. See Exhibit 1.0-2 on
page 8.
• The Notification tab allows you to set up
notification of certain events in the
ExpressSAS RAID or ThunderStream
storage controller. Refer to Setup RAID
Notification on page 24 or see Exhibit 1.5.1-
